U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) is expressing continued confidence that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will be relocated to Huntsville after years of political controversy and bureaucratic delays.

In 2023, then President Joe Biden announced that the Space Command HQ would remain in Colorado despite the Air Force Secretary identifying Redstone Arsenal as the best site just two years earlier.

While it is widely expected that the newly confirmed U.S. Air Force Secretary, Troy Meink, will officially move the Space Command HQ back to Huntsville, nothing has been officially announced.

Britt discussed the issue during a recent appearance on WVNN’s “The Yaffee Program.”

“I am confident that we will return Space Command to Alabama,” Britt said. “I have no doubts. I’m hopeful that that will come soon.”

Her colleague U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) recently said the same.

“Obviously, Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal were the location that should have been chosen,” Britt continued.

“They did the assessment. That’s where it came down, and unfortunately, President Biden chose to play politics, attempting to move it to Colorado, which was the fifth choice on the list, not even tow, three, or four… It’s what’s best for national security. We won, fair and square. And I have all the confidence in the world that it will be coming back to Alabama. And I think at this point, it’s a matter of weeks, and we’ll be able to start that transition and get moving.”

Earlier this year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report revealing some of the shortfalls in the process of reversing the decision to locate the new U.S. Space Command HQ at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.

“And I will look forward to welcoming those men and women to the Huntsville and Alabama area,” Britt said. “And I’m looking forward to doing great things for our nation, and what we know is going to be a critical area moving forward in 21st Century.”
