When FRA still had its USAF-operations base (until 2005 or so, when they moved everything to Ramstein and Spangdahlem), the airport had two different ICAO-codes: EDDF for the civil, EDAF for the military portion.
LESJ airbase and LEPA international airport also share runways and other facilities. The military use the former but civilians (willing to pay the extortionate handling fees) can use the latter.
Funny, Oakland CA (KOAK) is the exact opposite. It’s essentially two separate airports that share a code and some infrastructure (like car rentals). The airline airport has its own runway (30) and tower freq. The GA airport has its own runways and tower freq (not sure if even the physical tower is shared). When you transition it you get handed off from one to the other.
Same like LGSA and KQNC in Chania (Souda) Crete island in Greece.
Its an airport with both Civil and Military operators.

KQNC??
We in EDXN and ETMN are extremely close, so close that the runways are not independent in regards to wake turbulence, but they really are separate airports with different ARPs. You can’t taxi a plane from one to another, you have to do at least half a circuit (wind permitting).
The civilian co-utilisation of ETMN has an IATA code (FCN) but no ICAO identifier of its own.
Slightly confusing to visitors and commercial passengers.
Berlin-Tegel on the other hand is a true example for having two identifiers for the same airport. The civilian part is EDDT, while the military part is ETNB. Same runways, same (civilian) tower.
