Since its re-establishment in 2019, the department\u2019s newest combatant command has been temporarily based in Colorado Springs. In 2021, just as former President Donald Trump was leaving office, the White House<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2021\/01\/13\/us-space-command-site-to-be-located-in-huntsville-alabama\/\" target=\"_blank\"> announced Huntsville as its pick<\/a> for the organization\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision sparked pushback from Colorado lawmakers, largely led by Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., who called the Air Force\u2019s selection process \u201cfundamentally flawed.\u201d Lamborn requested a Government Accountability Office review of the decision and a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/02\/21\/defense-department-inspector-general-reviews-trump-relocation-of-space-command\/\" target=\"_blank\"> DoD inspector general investigation<\/a>. Both inquiries determined that while the basing process<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/06\/02\/government-watchdog-finds-major-flaws-in-us-space-command-basing-process\/\" target=\"_blank\"> lacked transparency and credibility<\/a>, the Air Force followed the law in choosing Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the conclusion of the watchdog investigations, the White House announced July 31 it had abandoned the Trump administration\u2019s previous decision and that Space Command would remain in Colorado in order to maintain \u201cpeak readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogers, as leader of the influential House committee, immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/07\/31\/alabama-lawmaker-blames-far-left-politics-for-spacecom-hq-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\">launched his own congressional investigation<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/08\/03\/rogers-demands-pentagon-comply-with-space-command-inquiry\/\" target=\"_blank\"> threatened to subpoena DoD officials<\/a> for documents and called for another GAO review of the Air Force basing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operational readiness<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Department officials testified during the hearing that the decision to keep the command in Colorado Springs is tied to \u201coperational readiness\u201d concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who took office in July 2021, led a reevaluation of the Trump administration\u2019s basing analysis that focused on facilities needs and workforce requirements. He told lawmakers that the results were consistent with the previous basing process, identifying Huntsville as the most affordable location and highlighting Colorado Springs as the site with the lowest operational risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Kendall thought that there were potential \u201cmitigations\u201d to those operational risks, he said Space Command Commander Gen. James Dickinson \u201cassessed those considerations quite differently,\u201d which drove the White House\u2019s final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe decision came down to a judgment about the operational risk associated with relocating versus the reduced cost of the leading alternative of Huntsville,\u201d Kendall said. \u201cI fully support the president\u2019s judgment in this matter, given the intensifying threat. And with a final decision now . . . we are prepared to move forward with the implementation of this basing decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dickinson said during the hearing that keeping Space Command in Colorado will allow the organization to maintain mission readiness and retain civilian personnel, which currently makes up 60% of its workforce. Were the headquarters to move south, the command estimates 88% of those civilians would opt not to transfer to the new location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., pushed back on the claim that locating Space Command headquarters in Huntsville would impose risk to its mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe able and ready workforce that\u2019s there in Huntsville can more than accommodate the operational readiness,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rogers and other House
