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. “The state of Alabama would welcome Space Command to join Redstone’s renowned and first-rate installation.
