"Seems a bit of a daft design with the main apron where it is and only one taxiway from it direct to the runway."

Apparently it was never a fullsclae base - they call it a "bounce" or "staging" airbase - presumably too remote for easy resupply and too close to both the sea and Alaska for a permanent base but usefull for dispersion, refueling and recovery
