Trump cited some 1600 people. That is nothing but administrative overhead. As posted before, they would hardly be noticed, among the 30-40,000 people who work at Redstone.
This is what the Marshall does at Redstone:
Marshall Space Flight Center (officially the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center; MSFC), located in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama (Huntsville postal address),[3] is the U.S. government's civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion research center.[2] As the largest NASA center, MSFC's first mission was developing the Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo program. Marshall has been the lead center for the Space Shuttle main propulsion and external tank; payloads and related crew training; International Space Station (ISS) design and assembly; computers, networks, and information management; and the Space Launch System. Located on the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, MSFC is named in honor of General of the Army George C. Marshall.
