Tyndall AFB to host second industry day since Hurricane Michael

Tyndall Air Force Base, FL, will hold an industry day on May 2 to update industry partners on the base's progress with its installation development plan, discuss acquisition strategy and share ideas on innovation.

The 325th Fighter Wing and Tyndall Program Management Office will host the one-day event, according to a service media advisory.

High-level officials are scheduled to attend, including Tyndall PMO Executive Director Patrice Melancon, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Energy John Henderson and 325th Fighter Wing Commander Col. Brian Laidlaw.

The event marks the second Tyndall AFB industry day since Hurricane Michael caused serious damage to the installation in the fall. The first was held Jan. 31.

It also will come one day after the May 1 deadline by which Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said she would halt the Tyndall AFB recovery effort if the service does not receive supplemental funding.
