Supporting Our Military's Four-Legged Heroes
The Military Working Dog Facility at Altus Air Force Base serves some of our nation's most dedicated service members—both human and canine. When the Air Force needed to renovate this critical facility, they required a construction partner who understood the unique demands of military operations and the specialized needs of working dogs. FORCE was proud to take on this important mission.
The project demanded precision, efficiency, and minimal disruption to ongoing base operations while delivering a facility that would serve these valuable military assets for years to come.
Our Approach
FORCE orchestrated a comprehensive renovation that touched every aspect of the facility, from essential infrastructure to specialized spaces designed specifically for military working dogs. Our scope included:
- Complete HVAC system upgrade to ensure optimal climate control
- Metal roofing and siding replacement for long-term durability
- Specialized room construction including medical, isolation, laundry, and food storage areas
- Multi-trade coordination across demolition, concrete work, millwork, doors, drywall, and specialty coatings
We managed the complex sequencing of multiple trades while maintaining strict adherence to military standards and minimizing any impact on daily base operations.
The Outcome
From September 2019 to April 2020, FORCE successfully delivered:
- Enhanced facility infrastructure meeting all environmental asset requirements
- Upgraded amenities specifically designed for military working dog operations
- Seamless project execution with minimal disruption to base activities
- Superior craftsmanship across all renovation phases, from structural work to specialty kennel coatings
Why It Mattered
This project represented more than just a renovation—it was about supporting the military personnel and working dogs who serve our country. By delivering a state-of-the-art facility on schedule and to exacting standards, FORCE helped ensure these valuable military assets have the environment they need to train, recover, and perform their critical missions.
