On the military box pleat in the drawing,
would you start with a regular box pleat
and fold back both ends of the box? If this
is the way its done, would you make the
box pleats extra deep (overlapping) so
after the second fold, all the folded ends
of adjacent pleats meet?
OR:
Is a military box pleat made by just folding
back the ends of knife pleats? Would this
really be a box pleat or just look like one?

This one is correct. It isn't a box pleat in the same way as a standard box pleat. It starts out as a knife pleat and then it is folded back to where it meets the pleat next to it.

Follow the threads Fluter provided for the way JohnH and I (w2f) used in figuring out how to do the military box pleats. The actual way is a lot simpler as shown in this post:
