The headquarters of U.S. Space Command will remain in Colorado Springs, Colorado, instead of moving to Huntsville, Alabama, the White House confirmed on Monday.

Dissolved in 2002 and re-established in 2019, Space Command is tasked to deliver space combat power and defend space assets of the United States and allies. Despite its name, the command is separate from U.S. Space Force, the youngest branch of the U.S. military headquartered in Aurora, Colorado.
