He said 8 staffers have already moved and started working this week in Huntsville. By the end of the year some 200 personnel are expected to be working in Huntsville although not all will come from Colorado Springs. The commands work force is 60% civilian in the springs.

Whiting and local officials also said there will be more jobs created in Colorado prings to support the command. The move is expected to be completed in 2031 or 32.
