Defense Department, services gird for review battle
The Pentagon and military services are gearing up for a bruising quadrennial review that could reshape the way we fight.
Every four years, the Pentagon and military services take part in a budget and strategy review. Congress first mandated the Quadrennial Defense Reviews in 1997 and the reviews must make specific decisions regarding defense and force levels.
The next QDR, due in 2010, will coincide with a new presidential administration and new management team at the Department of Defense. The review will likely take more than a year.
Greg Grant examines the upcoming battles within the military that the next QDR is likely to spawn in a feature story in the January issue of Government Executive.
