Department of Defense's quadrennial defense review (QDR) : hearing before the Committee on Armed Services, United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress, first session, October 4, 2001.
Congress mandated that every 4 years the Dept. of Defense (DoD) conduct a review to examine the national defense strategy and its implications for force structure, modernization, infrastructure and the budget. Because the 2001 review, which was issued on Sept. 30, 2001, will have a significant impact on the DoD's planning and budget, the General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to assess: (1) the strengths and weaknesses of DoD's conduct and reporting of the review, and (2) whether changes in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) legislation could improve the usefulness of future reviews. Charts and tables.
As you requested, we reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) May 1997 Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which directed the services to reduce the number of active, reserve, and civilian personnel. Specifically, our report discusses (1) the basis for the personnel cuts, (2) the services' plans to implement personnel cuts and achieve savings, (3) the extent that the services believe the cuts will impact their ability to execute the national military strategy, and (4) DOD'S plans to monitor the services' progress in implementing the cuts. We did not review planned cuts to the defense agencies. We are reporting separately on other aspects of the QDR, including DOD'S process and methodology for assessing force structure and modernization requirements and the implications of the QDR decisions on DOD'S Future Years Defense Program (FYDP).

Bruce Carlson, Director for Force Structure, Resources & Assessment on the Joint Staff. Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz played a key role in overseeing & shaping the QDR. Lt. Gen.

As an After-action report, this documented briefing summatizes analysis performed for the Joint STaff in preparation for and in support of the second Quadrennial Defense Review(QDR). The authors concluded that QDR 2001 like QDR 1997, was useful inproviding information on requirements for military capabilties and resource. The report recommend that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff use existing processes to routinely address cross-cutting issues from a military perpective.
