House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) has issued a statement in support of President Trump’s decision to relocate the United States Space Command Headquarters to Alabama.
“Space Command is finally coming home to Alabama. This announcement by President Trump is yet another in a long line of strong decisions that benefit America’s national security.
“Alabama was chosen in 2021 because it was the absolute best location for the Space Command headquarters. Today, in 2025, it remains the best location for our national security and for the taxpayer. This basing decision has been affirmed and reaffirmed by multiple agencies and multiple officials throughout both the Trump and Biden administrations. Biden was content to have Space Command located in the fourth-best location because it served him politically. The differences between him and President Trump have never been clearer.
“On this historic day, I am extremely proud to be an American, proud to be an Alabamian, and proud to support the Administration that made this possible.”
The move follows years of discussion about where Space Command should be headquartered, with Alabama first selected as the preferred site in 2021 after evaluations by federal agencies under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
