Space Command is moving to Huntsville, Alabama from Colorado Springs, Colorado, President Donald Trump announced on Sept. 2nd, according to The Epoch Times.
“I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama,” the president said at a press conference at the White House. “We are way ahead in space, but this will ensure we stay leaps and bounds ahead,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added.
Space Command positions military personnel to space, including troops from Space Force, the newest branch of the U.S. military. It was established by Trump during his first term. Space Command has operated from Colorado Springs since January 2020.

In 2023, then-President Joe Biden chose to keep Space Command at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado. But Alabama officials, including Gov. Kay Ivey, have been urging Trump to move Space Command headquarters to the state.
According to The Epoch Times, Trump and Alabama officials said the Huntsville area is perfect because it is already home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, a Blue Origin factory, and contractors such as Lockheed Martin. “It is the perfect place for Space Command,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said at the briefing.
