A number of important missions will resume at Tyndall AFB in the next few months and others will shift to other locations for the time being. All but approximately 500 Airmen will return to the Florida panhandle within 1 to 3 months.

“We are focused on taking care of our Airmen and their families and ensuring the resumption of operations.
