The relocation battle for the seat of the space control is completed

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the headquarters of Space Command would go from Colorado to Alabama – capping a one -year struggle on the basis of the order.

While Space Command operated from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump during his first mandate has put pressure for the command headquarters to Huntsville, in Alabama. However, former President Joe Biden announced in 2023 that the command would remain based in Colorado.

“The headquarters of the United States Space Command will move to the magnificent place of a place called Huntsville, in Alabama, to always be known from this point under the name of Rocket City,” Trump told journalists on Tuesday.

“This will result in more than 30,000 Alabama jobs,” said Trump. “And probably much more than that, and hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. … More importantly, this decision will help America defend and dominate the high border, as they call it.”

The announcement comes after Colorado and Alabama competed for the command of space, which Trump restored in 2019 as a new combat command to supervise US military space operations and is currently involved in Trump’s Golden Dome initiative.

“In Huntsville, (Space Command) will play a key role in building the Golden Dome,” Trump said on Tuesday. “As you know, it will be a great thing. Everyone wants to participate. Anti -missile defense shield. We are going to have a golden dome of which nobody has ever seen before … I hope that this will also guarantee that our technical technological capacities, which we are well in advance on anyone, will only be no one will be part, will remain unwavering for a long time.”

Supporters of the space order at the base of the spatial force of Peterson du Colorado argue that it would be expensive to move the head office, given the investment already put in Peterson to accommodate the command there.

However, the Air Force concluded in 2021 that the Redstone Arsenal army in Huntsville, in Alabama, would be the ideal location for the command of American space. The city also houses the Marshall Space Flight Center of NASA and the command of the army’s anti -missile space and defense.

Meanwhile, a report by the Inspector General of the Ministry of Defense published in April could not identify why Colorado was chosen above the Alabama.
