Ohio's rich history of aviation innovation makes it an ideally suited location for the Air Force's new U.S. Space Command headquarters or Space Force units, a group of the state's congressional delegates told Democratic President Joe Biden.
, a group of the state's congressional delegates told Democratic President Joe Biden in a letter Wednesday.
The lawmakers urged locating the Space Command headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, already a hub for air and space intelligence and research, and partnering Space Force with NASA’s John H. Glenn Research Center facilities at Lewis Field in Cleveland and the Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky on Lake Erie.
That decision was lambasted by Colorado officials, who said military officials had recommended to then-Republican President Donald Trump that Space Command remain at the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. Brown said Ohio’s earlier advocacy fell victim to a “rigged process,” but this time around, state leaders are moving quickly and aggressively to stay on the administration’s radar.
U.S. Space Force is the first new military service since the Air Force was created in 1947. It organizes, trains and equips space professionals and then presents them to Space Command and other combatant commands. Space Command employs forces from Space Force, as well as the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
