AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is a single small passenger processing area used for military airlift and space-available (Space-A) flights; there are no multi-terminal transfers or people-mover systems. Any 'security re-screening' is base access control (military ID/visitor pass checks) rather than TSA screening.
