The prefab functional/ugly architecture is remarkably similar to parts of the Bagram and Kandahar air bases, but obviously adapted for the polar climate.

It makes sense when you consider that the place has been run by large federal defense contractors for the last 30+ years, as mentioned in the article, Raytheon and now Lockhed Martin (PAE). PAE also does a lot of work in Afghanistan. I'm sure if/when PAE ever loses the contract it'll go over to somebody like DynCorp.
