Jones urges placement of a new Space Command headquarters in Huntsville
Sen. Doug Jones sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan urging the Department of Defense to select Huntsville as a new location for the U.S. Space Command headquarters.
The department is currently determining where the U.S. Space Command will be headquartered. They recently conducted site surveys at Redstone Arsenal, a U.S. Army post near Huntsville.
The Huntsville, Alabama area clearly fulfills and surpasses all of the criteria for Space Command Headquarters, Jones said.

Jones recently meet with Shanahan in Washington D.C. before sending this letter pushing Redstone Arsenal as a potential new headquarters.
