ROGERS REQUESTS PRESERVATION OF DOD RECORDS REGARDING SPACECOM DECISION DELAY

Press Release

"The Air Force's deleterious actions concerning the selection of a location for SPACECOM Headquarters require the Committee to now seek document preservation in this matter. Air Force officials have continued to delay finalizing the move of SPACECOM Headquarters to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, in response to apparent politically motivated interference by political appointees in the Biden Administration."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"The U.S. Space Force's overall mission and success requires a swift decision on finalizing the move. The move is severely delayed at this point, over two years beyond the point when Air Force made the right decision after scrutinizing multiple locations and considering multiple factors to locate SPACECOM Headquarters in Huntsville, and over a year since the GAO and the DOD Inspector General affirmed Air Force's decision. Moving expeditiously to locate SPACECOM Headquarters at Redstone Arsenal is in our country's best national security interests."
