Space Command offers bonuses for Huntsville move

What they're saying: "We are trying to do everything we can to incentivize our workforce," Whiting told reporters at a symposium in Colorado earlier this week, as reported by Air and Space Forces Magazine.

• "I've said to our civilian workforce, I want to make this decision as difficult as it can be for them because we're putting our money where our mouth is and we need their expertise to sustain our mission."
• Whiting said the agency has been directed to move a significant portion of an expected 1,400 jobs to Huntsville over the next three years, which aligns with Britt's update earlier this month.

Catch up quick: Earlier this year, SPACECOM opened its first temporary building at Redstone, the magazine reports, led by Alabamian Maj. Gen. Terry Grisham, leading the transition with a staff of around 40 personnel, most of whom made the move from Colorado.

• Rep. Dale Strong noted earlier this week that $68 million is headed to Redstone Arsenal for the design of Space Command's permanent headquarters.

• That was formalized in December when officials, including Whiting and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, unveiled a sign at the site of SPACECOM's new headquarters.

Context: A lawsuit challenging the move is still in play, and though Whiting wouldn't comment directly on the suit to Axios in December, he said the move is going ahead as planned.

• Earlier this year, local leaders in Colorado Springs filed a brief backing the Trump administration's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
