As recommended by the Department of Defense Inspector General and directed by the Secretary of Defense, the DAF will also review concerns regarding full operational capability for U.S. Space Command headquarters, as well as review the DAF’s analysis criteria for “childcare,” “housing affordability,” and “access to military/veteran support” to verify that identification of the preferred alternative was supported.Once the NEPA process is complete, the Secretary of the Air Force will select a location for U.S. Space Command headquarters.The draft environmental assessment, along with information about how to submit a comment, is available**here**.LR
