U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) remains optimistic that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will relocate to Huntsville, despite years of political disputes and bureaucratic setbacks.

In 2023, President Joe Biden decided to keep the Space Command headquarters in Colorado, even after the Air Force Secretary had pointed to Redstone Arsenal as the ideal location just two years prior.

There’s a strong belief that the newly appointed U.S. Air Force Secretary, Troy Mike, will officially move Space Command to Huntsville, although no official statement has been made yet.

Britt talked about this topic during a recent appearance on WVNN’s “Yafie Program.”

“I’m confident that we will bring the Space Command back to Alabama,” Britt stated. “I have no doubts. I hope it happens soon.”

Her fellow senator, Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), shares a similar sentiment.

“It was obvious that Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal were the right choices,” Britt added.

“They conducted the assessment. Unfortunately, President Biden opted for political reasons and decided to move to Colorado, which was not the top choice. It’s crucial for national security, and it makes sense,” she emphasized.

Earlier this year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report that highlighted issues in the process of reversing the decision regarding the new U.S. Space Command headquarters in Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville.

“I look forward to having those personnel in the Huntsville and Alabama area,” Britt remarked. “We anticipate making significant contributions to our country, particularly in this important phase of advancement into the 21st century.”
