HASC HEARING ON LOCATION OF U.S. SPACE COMMAND HQ, September 2023

The House Armed Services Committee held a hearing on September 28, 2023 on President Biden’s decision to keep U.S. Space Command in Colorado instead of moving it to Alabama as promised by then-President Trump. HASC chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) and other members of the Alabama congressional delegation argue that Biden’s decision was politically motivated, the same charge the Colorado delegation made two years ago when Trump decided to put it in Alabama.

Witnesses were Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, Commander of U.S. Space Command Gen. James Dickinson, and U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman.
