US Africa Command (AFRICOM) Headquarters May Move to Virgina from Stuttgart Intelligence shows US senators want to move the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) headquarters from Germany to Virginia. The plan recommends AFRICOM use facilities in Hampton Roads built for US Joint Forces Command. AFRICOM headquarters is Stuttgart, Germany, since 2007as a temporary facility as DoD explored basing the headquarters in Africa. Military intelligence logs show that significant projected costs and sensitivities on the part of African countries mirror making Africa a headquarter. DoD analysts at the United States project huge gains for moving the combatant command’s headquarters to Virginia. US Department of Defense will save more than $60 million per year, create more than 4,000 jobs and interject more than $350 million into the local economy each year, a good enough reason to move AFRICOM HQs to Virginia. intelligencebriefs/?cat=15
