Yeah, so a blue airport will have both DOD and civilian approaches. A green airport will just have civilian approaches (which can probably still be flown by DOD aircraft *IF* they had the plates) and a brown airport has nothing.

Interestingly enough I heard a tanker on frequency yesterday trying to get into Andrews. I guess they were on the Irons4 arrival and center tried to switch them over to the ELDEE1 (which is an RNAV arrival). They said they couldn't take it and that they only had charts for the Irons4. Don't most DOD flights normally carry a full book (hence why they have limited approaches to begin with)? I guess there could be exceptions to that, but it seemed sort of strange.
