The U.S. Space Command headquarters appears poised to be moving to Huntsville after Alabama Sens. Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt talked with President Donald Trump about relocating it from Colorado this week.
Tuberville expressed confidence July 24 that North Alabama will soon be home to SPACECOM, which could bring to a close the years-long saga over where the permanent headquarters should be located.

“I know we’re all excited about getting Space Command to Redstone Arsenal once and for all,” Tuberville told reporters. “This week, I’ve spent several hours on the phone and several hours in the Oval Office with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth talking about the future of Space Command, not if, but when it happens, and that will be soon.”
House Armed Services Chairman, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks, has pushed for Space Command to be located at Redstone Arsenal from the start.
Britt also talked with Trump about SPACECOM and similarly expects a decision to move it to Redstone Arsenal to be forthcoming.
