I don't know what is called now, been off active duty many years. While I was on duty we were expanding abilities to counter most anything that might come over the North Pole, by ice, sea or air. Most of it classified back then, so I only know that Tulle Greenland and Keflavik Iceland are common knowledge now. I don't want to speculate other than they had several different purposes and most likely still do.
Q said this is bigger than you can possibly imagine, maybe Tulle is an overflow prison, never able to escape that place and wouldn't ever want to be there.
Maybe unrelated. But while doing some research I happened to notice that Keflavik recently had a complete renovation of the airport surface. All the runways and tarmacs replaced in 2018
Keflavik has been an important US Naval Air Station for many, many years and I think has been re-designated as a Joint Forces Base now. Many upgrades were done over the years to taxiways/ runways and adding new support services. I think the improvements/ maintenance has been an ongoing program. Not sure if they built any new "containment structures" there.
They are repairing the runway in the Azores, so there is a good chance that lots of people/equipment/materials will need to be shipped in. Potentially from Iceland or Greece? Who knows. (There's a prison there, too.)
