Daily on Defense 🇺🇸— JoeBiden’s decision to keep US_SpaceCom in Colorado defended as vital to keeping up with China
‘POLITICS PLAYED NO ROLE’: Responding to the ire of Alabama lawmakers over President Joe Biden’s decision to ignore the Air Force recommendation to establish the permanent headquarters of the U.S. Space Command in Huntsville, the Pentagon said the deciding factor was the time it would take to build a new facility and move everything from Colorado.
NOT ABOUT TUBERVILLE: Ahead of the decision, several reports suggested the Biden administration was also reluctant to move servicemembers and their families to a state with restrictive abortion laws, in particular since Sen. Tommy Tuberville is waging an unrelenting battle to stop the Pentagon from funding military travel for women to obtain abortions out of state.
“Last month, Biden named Adm. Lisa Franchetti to be the Navy’s top officer and first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, against Austin’s advice,” the report said.Good Wednesday morning and welcome to Jamie McIntyre’s Daily on Defense, written and compiled by Washington Examiner National Security Senior Writer Jamie McIntyre and edited by Conrad Hoyt.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has ruled out one possible way around Tuberville, bringing up individual nominations for a floor vote, a laborious process that, if done for each promotion, would consume weeks, if not months, of floor time. “As current and former service members of the United States Military, and organizations which support and advocate for the safety and well-being of our service members, we firmly support Senator Tuberville’s position of holding civilian, general, and flag officers from confirmation by unanimous consent until the DoD rescinds its recently instituted policy of subsidizing abortion,” the letter states.
