Quadrennial Defense ReviewSince 2001, the United States has seen New York and Washington attacked, sent US troops to invade and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq; wage an ongoing counterinsurgency in both of those counties; found itself fighting a Long War against radical Islamism; witnessed the continued drift toward nuclear proliferation in Asia, and observed the continued growth of Chinese military capabilities along disturbing lines. This is the environment confronted by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and defense planners in preparing the Pentagon’s Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which was recently submitted to Congress. The QDR has four key tasks. The first is to determine the major challenges that the United States may have to confront over the next 20 years. The second is to present a strategy for meeting these challenges. Then, the QDR must assess whether the force structure and defense program proposed by the Defense Department are consistent with the diagnosis of the threats and the strategy proposed for addressing them. And finally, the QDR has to estimate the level of resources necessary to implement this strategy. In brief, the QDR assesses not only what needs to be done to ensure the security of our nation today, but also what must be done to prepare for threats that lie along the misty horizon of America’s future. |
