Look at the amount of gear they have on their backs, this is not a force lightened up for an assault. It looks like MP's securing an area that they plan to stay in for a while. It makes sense too, the Federation will be using the airport extensively.
Yeah, key infrastructure facilities are critical to a military force. If the occupying force had failed to capture the airport and could not reasonably figure they COULD take it within a certain time window, they would have bombed and destroyed it to deny it to opposing forces. Sort of surprising that the Ukes didn't think of that. If they felt outnumbered and outclassed and outgunned, I'm surprised THEY didn't make the airport useless by blowing deep holes in the runways.
