This supplements the IFS and should be used as a companion document and provide additional detail in the implementation of the Landscape Master Plan. Besides this Introduction, the plan includes additional sections, each organized to provide the appropriate level and scale of guidance.
Tyndall AFB is in an urgent and compelling environment where operations and facilities must expeditiously recover, rebuild, and get back to a normal conditions following the devastation of Hurricane Michael (2018). The forward-focused rebuild effort promotes sustainable, resilient, and SMART technology approaches that highlight the most impactful performance standards adopted by the Air Force that exceed baseline U.S. Department of Defense, Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), and other requirements and specifically addresses the base’s vertical and horizontal Military Construction (MILCON) requirements. This strategy provides “guardrails” for the rebuild without inhibiting innovation and creativity. This site consolidates the base’s design intent, strategies, and solutions, and facilitates expedited design phases, enabling Tyndall AFB to become the Installation of the Future.
Tyndall AFB
Overview & Guidance
Analyzing the the pre-storm conditions and hurricane impacts lends a solid foundation
for a data-driven, informed, and resilient installation design.
Overview IntroductionHurricane recovery rebuild efforts
PLANNING DISTRICTSServe to section Tyndall AFB by land use and function
DOCUMENTATION STRATEGY
To guide the hurricane recovery rebuild with the addition of future sustainability, resiliency, and SMART solutions, versus a typical IFS.
Design Wind Speeds and Building Envelope Protection MemoBased upon our AF structural SME recommendations and in alignment with the SecAF directed Severe Weather Readiness Assessment recommendations, the Tyndall PMO will use the draft 2019 UFC and the following Tyndall design wind speeds based upon Risk categories III-V.
Design Flood Elevation
(DFE) MemoDFE is defined as the minimum elevation to design assets considering not just the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), but other factors such as historic storm surge data, sea-level change, regulatory mandates, state or local requirements, buildings code requirements, and an asset owner’s risk tolerance.

Performance Standards
Created for the architects and engineers who are designing the Installation of the Future, these performance standards contribute to Tyndall AFB’s mission readiness and to becoming a sustainable, resilient, SMART-ready base.
AppliedPerformance Standards
The performance standards have been applied in plans and designs that are driving the rebuild activities.
AdoptedPerformance Standards
Adopted performance standards focus on reducing costs, optimizing operations, and enhancing stability
Resiliency
Tyndall AFB’s resiliency to multiple natural and manmade threats is framed in the U.S. Air Force’s doctrine known as the “5 Rs” of Resiliency. The five defining elements of resiliency are Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, Response, and Recovery.
Sustainability
Tyndall AFB’s Installation of the Future will be designed, constructed, and operated with sustainable features as unifying priorities for all horizontal and vertical efforts. Its projects will incorporate criteria from a variety of proven strategies and best practices.
Smart technologies
Tyndall AFB’s SMART building technologies will collect, display, record, analyze, and disseminate information, and provide centralized visibility and communication for the monitored building and utility subsystems.
The five defining elements of resiliency at Tyndall
Robustness
Extent to which a system can absorb an impact or prevent the impact from spreading to other parts of the system.
Redundancy
Extent to which a system has a diversity of methods in which it can continue to provide the required level of service.
Resourcefulness
Extent to which a system can adapt when impacted during a risk event and the speed with which it adapts.
Response
Extent to which a system can enable installation activities to return to mission effectiveness.
Recovery
Extent to which a system can regain initial mission effectiveness as well as normal operations plus the ability to provide support to the surrounding community and region.
“Our intent is for Tyndall to be a model 21ST century, digitally integrated installation of the future”
— Brig. General Patrice Melancon,
Executive director of the Tyndall AFB Reconstruction Program Management Office, whose team is overseeing the rebuild.

Landscape Master Plan
The Landscape Master Plan defines the roadmap to a new and reimagined Tyndall AFB.
The Installation of the Future will optimize mission success while also being SMART, resilient and sustainable.
A. Introduction
B. Framework
Based on the overarching vision and goals for this plan, this section describes the key base-wide planning methodologies and guidance to achieve the vision of this Plan, and presented in four overarching frameworks.
C. Site Development Criteria
Building on the planning frameworks, this section provides supplemental guidance regarding site development design criteria and coordination that is specific to the intent of this plan. The organization of this section is consistent with the IFS, and provides the user with details on background for context, framework, priorities, approach, and typologies for the subject areas.
D. Post-Construction Maintenance Procedures
Provide guidance for achieving the intent of this plan, this section describes the required longterm maintenance practices for the landscape zones and elements.
