White House Nominates Next General to Helm US Space Command
The nomination puts a career Space Force officer in charge as the command prepares for its first purpose-built headquarters and a phased move through 2031.
- On Tuesday, the White House formally nominated U.S. Space Force Lieutenant General David Miller, Jr. to lead U.S. Space Command, a move that would promote him to a four-star general.
- Miller currently serves as the Deputy Chief of Space Operations for strategy, plans, programs, and requirements, a role that makes him a strong candidate for this joint leadership position.
- Overseeing the relocation of SPACECOM headquarters from Colorado Springs, Colo., to Huntsville, Ala., will be among Miller's key tasks during a transition costing $2 billion and lasting until 2031.
- Space domain operations have become integral to U.S. warfighting, with leaders now emphasizing 'orbital warfare' capabilities to maintain deterrence and defend the joint force against hostile adversary actions.
- If confirmed by the Senate, Miller will succeed current SPACECOM Commander General Stephen Whiting, who is expected to retire early next year, ensuring leadership continuity for the command.
