Designed for polar launches (military missions) but certainly adaptable for other missions (if one would consider launching over land, like the Russkies do).

Sorry but SLC-6 has been refurbished to launch other rockets. And a friend of mine who helped build it admitted that the concrete flame trench would never withstand a shuttle launch - that's the real reason they never lauched shuttles from Vandenberg. Billion dollar white elephant.
