Is the Space Command headquarters relocation battle over?

President Donald Trump is set to make a significant announcement regarding the Department of Defense on Tuesday, sparking speculation about the future location of Space Command’s headquarters.

Originally based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, there has been ongoing debate about relocating Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama. Former President Joe Biden had previously announced in 2023 that the headquarters would remain in Colorado.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed that Tuesday’s announcement would be related to the Defense Department. Initially, a livestream link for Trump’s 2 p.m. announcement indicated that it was regarding Space Command’s headquarters, but this mention was later removed.

Reports from the Associated Press suggest that Trump will unveil plans to move Space Command from Colorado to Alabama during his announcement.

Both Colorado and Alabama have been competing to host Space Command, which was established by Trump in 2019 to oversee U.S. military space operations as part of his Golden Dome initiative.

The White House has not yet responded to inquiries from Fox News Digital regarding the future location of Space Command’s headquarters.
