"Colorado Springs Celebrates Full Operational Status of US Space Command"
U.S. Space Command has achieved full operational capacity at its startup location in Colorado, according to Gen. James Dickinson. The command is now ready to take its place in the Pentagon's unified command plan. However, Alabama lawmakers are still fighting for Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal to be the permanent headquarters. U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers has inserted language in the 2024 national defense budget to block Colorado as the headquarters, but President Biden has already chosen Colorado. Dickinson emphasized the increasing challenges posed by China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran in the space domain.
