Boeing Defense HQ Relocation
Boeing is relocating the headquarters of its Defense, Space & Security division from Arlington, Virginia back to St. Louis, Missouri to align leadership more closely with its primary engineering and manufacturing workforce.
Company officials indicated the move is intended to improve operational focus, program execution, and proximity to production facilities.
Boeing’s overall corporate headquarters remains in Arlington, but defense leadership will now operate closer to its largest concentration of defense employees.
Leadership closer to 18,000+ regional defense employees
Greater alignment with engineering and manufacturing hubs
Focus on execution and program performance
Not a tax or political relocation
