The Dept. of Defense has just released its Quadrennial Defense Review.
The QDR is a legislatively-mandated review of Department of Defense strategy and priorities. The QDR sets a long-term course for DoD and is no doubt a document of fundamental importance for gaining an understanding of the 2010-2011 topic. With Afghanistan and Iraq in the topic, the QDR's re-evaluation of the 2006 QDR, and it's prioritization of the capability to fight and win two conventional wars simultaneously, is a big deal. To what consequence would reducing the U.S. military presence in Iraq or Afghanistan lead, in terms of long term defense priorities as laid out in the QDR? That is a question many debates on the topic will be asked to resolve.
