US EditionTrump says Colorado’s mail-in voting played role in Space Command move
The move reverses a 2023 decision, promising over 30,000 jobs and significant investment for Alabama's economy, amid political disputes over location and election integrity claims.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced from the Oval Office that the U.S. Space Command's base of operations will be relocated to Huntsville, Alabama, overturning the 2023 decision by the Biden administration to keep it in Colorado Springs.
- This reversal follows a four-year tug of war since 2021, when the Air Force first identified Alabama's Redstone Arsenal as the preferred site before Biden directed the facility remain in Colorado.
- Trump stated that Huntsville won because its leaders fought harder and criticized Colorado's mail-in voting system as corrupt, claiming it influenced the previous decision politically.
- The move is expected to transition about 1,400 Space Command jobs to Huntsville over five years and generate more than 30,000 Alabama jobs plus hundreds of billions of dollars in investment.
- Officials say relocating headquarters to Huntsville will enhance military readiness and national security while satisfying the operational needs of a fully active Space Command.
