President Trump set to announce Space Command move from Colorado to Alabama

President Donald Trump is expected to announce Tuesday that U.S. Space Command headquarters will relocate from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, reviving his first-term plan that President Joe Biden reversed in 2023 over concerns the move could harm military readiness.

President Trump originally reestablished U.S. Space Command in 2018 through executive order, after it had been folded into U.S. Strategic Command in 2002. The command’s mission centers on protecting U.S. space interests, particularly satellite networks critical to navigation, communications, and surveillance across land, sea, and air operations.

In 2023, President Joe Biden reversed President Trump’s initial relocation order, opting to keep the headquarters in Colorado, where it was temporarily based. Biden acted on the advice of then-Space Command chief Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that transferring operations could jeopardize military readiness.

The reversal sparked pushback, with Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, requesting a Pentagon watchdog review. The Defense Department Inspector General later reported that Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville was the Air Force’s preferred location but cautioned that constructing facilities equal to those in Colorado could take three to four years. Dickinson raised concerns that such delays would hurt readiness, a key factor in Biden’s decision to keep the command in Colorado at the time.

President Trump’s upcoming announcement reopens the politically charged debate over the command’s future home, balancing the Air Force’s basing preference against military readiness concerns and regional economic stakes.
