U.S. Space Command: Air Force’s Reevaluation of Headquarters Location and Status of Operations

GAO’s May 2025 report reviews the Air Force’s reevaluation of the permanent headquarters location for U.S. Space Command. Despite a multi-phase process that reaffirmed Huntsville, Alabama as the preferred site, the final decision—made by the President—was to establish the headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The report highlights procedural gaps, cost and operational challenges, and the importance of space command readiness to national security. It also underscores the evolving role of space in defense strategy and decision-making transparency.
