LOS is currently under Martial Law and therefore technically all airports in LOS is military airports. :D
A couple of months ago I was part of a team assigned by my company to attend a briefing at Swampy airport (my company was invited to tender for an upgrading project of the airport facilities)..... as part of the briefing we were brought on a tour of the airport including the control tower.
I was surprised when we went inside the control tower because I saw Airforce personnel working alongside the civilian air traffic controllers..... after having a chat with one of the Airforce officer on duty..... I found out that they were assigned to work with the civilians at the airport but were on standby to takeover the airport's operations immediately if the order comes in from the Ruling Junta.
Swampy is a civilian airport but even they have military personnel on duty as this is the present LOS system under martial law...... I believe this situation is also similar in many other important places in LOS as well.
