It's not just the US.
Frinstance, RAAF Williamtown being co-located with (and landlord of)
Newcastle Airport:
"Newcastle Airport operates from RAAF Base Williamtown under a lease
with the Department of Defence."

Royal Thai Navy Airfield U-Tapao shares (at least some) facilities with
U-Tapao International Airport.

I believe, as they're joint civil-military installations, the respective
armed service handles air traffic control at each location.
