James Dickinson, the commander of Space Command, argued that the move would risk losing critical civilian workers. Lawmakers from Alabama accused Biden of playing politics and seeking election votes in Colorado. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall endorsed the move to Alabama but was overruled by Biden. The decision is facing scrutiny, with calls for investigations into the process and concerns about the potential politicization of future headquarters decisions.
