The Air Force announced the permanent location for many more U.S. Space Force units Wednesday - and none of them are in Huntsville, Alabama, suggesting the service may be moving ahead with at least part of the design it originally sought for the new force before it became entangled in politics.
missions will now be based in Colorado Springs, a notable choice during a larger and now politicized battle over where to locate the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command. Colorado Springs, which is housing Space Command’s temporary headquarters, was the Air Force’s preferred location, but Donald Trump, in the final days of his presidency, selected Alabama instead.
Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet said he’ll be using the president’s visit as another opportunity to press for the command.
