House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) invited relevant military officials to testify publicly in front of the committee regarding President Joe Biden's decision to house Space Command's headquarters permanently in Colorado instead of Alabama.
Biden's decision, which the administration announced in late July, was to keep Space Command's headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado, overturning a decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama. For months leading up to the president's decision, lawmakers from Colorado and Alabama jockeyed to get the administration to choose their state.
“In May, I opened a Congressional investigation into the Biden administration’s shameful delay to finalize the permanent basing decision for U.S. Space Command. When the Secretary of the Air Force finally made a decision, he upheld his predecessors’ decision to base U.S. Space Command in Huntsville, Alabama. President Biden then usurped the Air Force Secretary’s authority and named Colorado Springs the permanent basing site for U.S.
Rep. Doug Lamborn is a member of the Armed Services Committee, and he has applauded the president's decision.
