     Tyndall Air Force Base; and
       (2) use innovative construction methods, materials, 
     designs, and technologies in carrying out such bed down in 
     order to achieve efficiencies, cost savings, resiliency, and 
     capability, which may include--
       (A) innovative and resistant basing that is highly 
     resilient to weather and natural disaster;

     Force in the 21st century.
