1
00:00:01,590 --> 00:00:04,320
- [Brian] For the last
eight months, ah we've spent

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,320
a lot of time working through
the initial actions of

3
00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:13,560
recovery and in parallel
working through the planning

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,090
process for how we would
rebuild the Air Force base

5
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:18,490
of the future.

6
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:21,250
Now that we have the funding from Congress

7
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:24,740
now what we can do is
transition from planning

8
00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:27,830
for that base of the
future to actually building

9
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:29,440
that base of the future.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,560
- [Patrice] Of the $670,000,000
of operation and maintenance

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,570
money, Tyndall's gonna be
receiving $250,000,000 of that.

12
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:39,700
That's going to continue efforts
that are already underway

13
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:44,700
to do repairs, uh to do debris
cleanup, to do demolition,

14
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:50,311
and move forward to get us
back on track with a long-term

15
00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:52,290
program that we've been working so far.

16
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:55,500
Right now we are prepared
to start making awards.

17
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:59,420
This is going to include,
some smaller repair

18
00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:04,200
we also are looking to
replace three key buildings.

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,858
One of them is Fire
Station Number Two that was

20
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:09,960
completely wiped out by the hurricane.

21
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,000
The other two we have a
small arms training range

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,070
where all of our airmen go
to basically shoot pistols

23
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:18,830
and rifles and get
qualified on those weapons.

24
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:22,430
The third one in the Air Battle
Manager Simulation Building.

25
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:25,704
That is a key part of the training for the

26
00:01:25,704 --> 00:01:29,430
Air Battle Managers in
the Air Force at large.

27
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:32,190
- [Brian] So we're going to do
the same amount of mission in

28
00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:35,290
the future but our intent is
to do it in a smaller number

29
00:01:35,290 --> 00:01:38,960
of facilities that are more
efficient that are more

30
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:42,820
resilient that cost less over
time to maintain operations

31
00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:45,330
and maintenance bills and
that at the end of the day

32
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:47,560
improve the quality of life
that the Airmen who are

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,913
lucky enough to call
an Air Force base home.

34
00:01:49,913 --> 00:01:52,496
(upbeat music)
