In 2018, Tyndall Air Force Base sustained a direct hit from Hurricane Michael. Overall, 484 buildings were damaged, and Tyndall removed 792,450 cubic yards of debris which would fill Washington DC’s Capitol Rotunda 16.5 times. As the 325th Fighter Wing began to reconstitute, the Air Force, installation and Mission Support Center headquarters quickly realized a mammoth effort was needed to rebuild the installation. In support of the wing commander, AFIMSC established a Program Management Office (PMO) to repair, reshape, and rebuild Tyndall.

In 2021, the PMO integrated with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center’s Facility Directorate to create the Natural Disaster Recovery Division to continue the Tyndall rebuild effort and formalize the support to Offutt AFB and Joint Base Langley-Eustis AFB. The Tyndall-based NDR Division provides strategic construction management to assist Air Force installations to quickly recover from disasters and make infrastructure more resilient. Tyndall and the NDR work hand-in-hand to reshape the base into a more lethal, ready, and resilient base. Coined the “Installation of the Future,” this base will be the first of its kind in the Department of Defense. It will meet the needs of our current and future forces by incorporating resilient infrastructure, innovative designs, and advanced technology to equip Airmen to execute the mission of today and tomorrow.
