This base is already busy in Eglin. The Tyndall occupancy is much larger than people think. Residing there under the guise of the Air Combat Command is:
325th Fighter Wing
First Air Force
53d Weapons Evaluation Group
Continental NORAD Region
Air Force Civil Engineer Support
44th FG
337 ACS
and others that aren’t mentioned.
This is a lot to house at Eglin with the diversity of the base. And as it is the planned training spot for the F-35’s coming within a couple of years, and the availability of Avon Park, it will be a busy training base.

Also, a drone wing from NV was scheduled to move in this year. Close to 5k people into the area to support.
