I did see this, but still c@cked up...

My home base is of course a military airfield.

I can see the logic for the military. Essentially all military IAPs are the same - at least all PAR/SRA/ILS ones are, to a great extent. When they set up a temporary base at e.g. Baghdad, they can use the same procedures and they are always the same - 1800ft QFE to intercept the glideslope at 6 miles, for example, height at 2 miles = 600ft...

Something to be said for familiarity when operating in that sort of environment.
