Who it's for
For the family with an offer, a rumor, or a report date — and no clear answer yet.
Space Command staff
Colorado Springs → Huntsville, phased through the early 2030s. Know your wave before you touch the house.
FBI & non-DoD transfers
NCR → Redstone. FTR, not JTR — different entitlements, same family decision.
The spouse doing the math
Written so both of you can work it in one sitting and land on the same answer.
The problem
Town hall reassurance vs. what decides your money.
Dates, rulebooks, and both markets on the same day — not slogans.
Town hall says
Reality
Town hall says
“Everyone's moving, it's a great opportunity.”
Reality
The move is phased over years. Your wave decides your timeline, and nobody at the podium knows which wave you are in.
Town hall says
“Housing is so much cheaper down there.”
Reality
Medians differ, but so do taxes, insurance, commute, and your spouse's paycheck. A cheaper house is not the same as a household that is ahead.
Town hall says
“Entitlements will cover it.”
Reality
Depends on JTR vs FTR, agency policy, and what's in your orders. Nothing is covered until it's in writing.
Town hall says
“Buy right away.”
Reality
You haven't driven the commute at 7:10 a.m. on a rainy Tuesday. Twelve months renting beats one wrong purchase.
How it works

Real 2026 numbers
Every figure we print has a source and a date.
If we couldn't verify it, it's not on this page.
113 → ~200
113 Space Command personnel were on Redstone as of mid-August 2026, with roughly 200 expected by the end of 2026.
~900 by 2028
About half of the command's roughly 1,800 positions (~900) are expected at Redstone by the end of 2028; Axios also reported roughly 700 additional moves planned for 2027.
HQ ~2031–32
The permanent headquarters facility is projected to be complete around 2031, with full HQ occupancy around 2032. Until then, the move is phased.

Entitlements
Which relocation rulebook applies depends on who you work for: DoD civilians fall under the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR); most non-DoD federal employees, including many FBI staff, fall under the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and their agency's policy. Your orders and your relocation counselor decide what is authorized — the kit never promises a dollar entitlement.
Not an official DoD, USSPACECOM, FBI, or agency publication. Relocation entitlements are set by the JTR or FTR, your agency's policy, and the specific authorizations on your orders. This kit does not state or estimate what you will receive — confirm every allowance in writing with your relocation counselor before you commit to a sale, lease, or purchase.
BAH tables, FBI headcounts, and county millage are not printed here — inside the kit they link to official sources only, never as invented dollar figures.
