U.S. Space Command to leave Colorado Springs for Alabama by 2027
The U.S. Space Command headquarters is set to relocate from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama. The move, first announced by President Donald Trump in September 2020, will affect around 1,000 staff members. Pentagon officials have now confirmed early discussions on the transition.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently met with General Stephen Whiting, the commander of U.S. Space Command, to outline the relocation plans. The shift will involve roughly 600 civilian roles and 400 military positions. However, the full details—including exact timelines and logistical arrangements—remain unclear as the process is still in its initial phases.
The relocation will impact around 1,000 employees, with the Pentagon providing limited specifics so far. Meanwhile, Colorado Springs will retain a significant military presence due to the Space Force’s planned expansion. The transition marks a major shift for U.S. Space Command operations.
