COMMAND DECISION: SPACECOM STAYS IN COLORADO: Donald Trump once bragged that, in the final week of his presidency, he “single-handedly” decided Alabama — a red state that voted for him — would get the prized headquarters of the newly-reestablished U.S. Space Command.

James Dickinson that moving the headquarters would jeopardize military readiness.
