Alabama Lawmakers Continue Fight for U.S. Space Command Headquarters

Relying on Upcoming Pentagon Investigation and Potential Trump Second Term to Reverse Biden's Decision

Alabama lawmakers, led by House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers, are continuing their fight to move the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, despite President Joe Biden's decision to keep it in Colorado.
Rogers believes an upcoming investigation by the Pentagon's Inspector General will support their argument that Biden's decision was politically motivated.
Rogers also suggests that if Donald Trump wins a second term in office, he will enforce the move to Alabama, as he had originally planned during his first term.
Alabama lawmakers argue that Huntsville, Alabama, won the competition for the Space Command headquarters fair and square, based on the Air Force's basing criteria.
Colorado lawmakers, on the other hand, argue that moving the headquarters would be needlessly expensive and disruptive, especially now that the Space Command has achieved full operational capability in Colorado.
