Trump Moves U.S. Space Command HQ to Alabama. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. Space Command will be permanently based in Huntsville, Alabama. This move reverses Biden’s 2023 decision to keep the HQ in Colorado Springs, ending a rivalry between the states. The headquarters offers major economic and strategic gains, with Alabama leaders pushing hard and earning GOP praise. Huntsville, “Rocket City,” hosts major sites like Redstone Arsenal and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Mayor Tommy Battle announced about 1,400 jobs will transfer to Huntsville over the next five years. The Air Force originally picked Huntsville in 2021, but Biden later chose Colorado Springs to prevent disruptions in readiness. Colorado leaders criticized the reversal, calling it a mistake that could undermine national security. A Pentagon inspector general review could not explain why Colorado was chosen over Alabama. Trump says his plans were blocked for political reasons, and Alabama’s strong support shaped the final decision.
