The command is currently based at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., near a host of other important military space installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are concerned this decision did not take into account how such a move may affect Intelligence Community dependencies and missions. We therefore request you review the process by which this decision was made, and to ensure IC equities are fully considered,\u201d Sens. Mark Warner of Virginia, the panel\u2019s chairman, and Michael Bennet of Colorado wrote to President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/space\/2021\/01\/13\/us-space-command-site-to-be-located-in-huntsville-alabama\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21013707208369.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Space Command site to be located in Huntsville, Alabama<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. Air Force is expected to announce Huntsville, Alabama, as the location for the U.S. Space Command headquarters, according to Alabama\u2019s governor.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SPACECOM, the combatant command in charge of daily satellite, radar and other space-related operations, is separate from the new Space Force, which supplies the troops and resources that SPACECOM directs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military space operations are closely tied to other entities in the intelligence community, such as the National Reconnaissance Office. Those organizations share classified information collected by their satellites and radars to better understand activity on the ground, what and where objects are in space, what they are capable of, and whether they pose a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFurthermore, we are keenly aware of the threats in space and the criticality of maintaining U.S. superiority in the face of an evolving threat landscape,\u201d the senators wrote. \u201cWe have consistently made this a priority in recent years, with careful oversight of dollars spent and an eye toward the allocation of scarce resources among national security priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They pointed to efforts to modernize the National Space Defense Center, part of SPACECOM, at Peterson that protects U.S. space assets from harm. The senators also worry about losing valuable civilian employees and contractors who opt not to follow SPACECOM to Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is critical that any decision to move Space Command from its current location take into account the potential effects of such a move on the operational integration between the IC and DoD space communities at NSDC and at other joint sites in Colorado,\u201d Warner and Bennet wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huntsville, home to the Army\u2019s Redstone Arsenal, beat five other locations to become SPACECOM\u2019s permanent headquarters, with about 1,400 personnel. Earlier in the year, Colorado\u2019s congressional delegation asked Biden to pause the move to Alabama until the new administration reviews the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/space\/2021\/03\/22\/gao-to-review-space-command-headquarters-decision\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21013707208369.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">GAO to review Space Command headquarters decision<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Government Accountability Office will look into the Air Force&#039;s decision to move Space Command&#039;s headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama, following a request from a Colorado congressman.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Government Accountability Office and Defense Department inspector general are also looking into the matter after Colorado Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn petitioned the watchdog agencies for a review of the Air Force\u2019s decision-making process, which critics have said was politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force was in charge of vetting prospective locations to host SPACECOM, based on an area\u2019s ability to support the space mission and to offer a good quality of life for military families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHuntsville compared favorably across more of these factors than any other community, providing a large, qualified workforce, quality schools, superior infrastructure capacity and low initial and recurring costs,\u201d the Air Force said when it announced its decision in January. \u201cAdditionally, the Huntsville community, with Redstone Arsenal coordination, offered a facility to support the headquarters, at no cost, while the permanent facility is being constructed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service says it will make a final decision on moving SPACECOM to Alabama in spring 2023, following an environmental review. If the plan moves forward, the command will relocate in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some lawmakers are still trying to convince the executive branch to reverse a preliminary decision to move U.S. Space Command headquarters to Alabama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":28727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":88,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[29,116,15,88],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3446],"class_list":["post-28257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-left-column","category-news","category-your-military"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"5RFXZOGCX5AFZJFM5TEPBUSTKU","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-air-force\/2021\/05\/11\/review-of-space-command-basing-decision-sought-by-senate-intel-members\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Review of Space Command basing decision sought by Senate Intel members - Military Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some lawmakers are still trying to convince the executive branch to reverse a preliminary decision to move U.S. Space Command headquarters to Alabama.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Review of Space Command basing decision sought by Senate Intel members\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Some lawmakers are still trying to convince the executive branch to reverse a preliminary decision to move U.S. Space Command headquarters to Alabama.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2021\/05\/11\/review-of-space-command-basing-decision-sought-by-senate-intel-members\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Military Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-11T17:02:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T20:19:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Rachel S.
