Space Command looking for an HQ

WASHINGTON – U.S. Space Command is looking for a permanent home. The Air Force, in coordination with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, is announcing a revised approach for determining the permanent location of the command’s headquarters. This revised approach considers the newly established organizational structure and analyzes its effects on the limited number of highly specialized personnel and infrastructure required to support both the Space Force and Space Command. Additionally, the approach expands the number of locations eligible for consideration to host the permanent Space Command HQ, and provides a comprehensive and transparent analysis before selecting a final location. The AF released screening and evaluation criteria, which will increase the number of locations eligible for consideration. The AF is providing communities that meet the criteria an opportunity to nominate themselves as potential candidate-locations by following the process outlined in a letter from the AF to the nation’s governors, which includes a nomination form and screening and evaluation criteria. Colorado Springs, Colo., remains the provisional HQ.
