The evacuation order, shared on the base's Facebook page, requires personnel residing in multiple locations to evacuate by 4 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
MacDill, situated less than 10 miles from downtown Tampa, is home to the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In response to the impending storm, key personnel from these commands are being relocated to alternate locations to ensure operational continuity.
