The 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), released by the Department of Defense (DOD) in February, is the first QDR to make current conflicts the priority of budgeting, policy, and programming efforts. The QDR, which covers fiscal years 2011 to 2015, seeks to further rebalance the force and reform DOD's institutions and processes to better support the urgent needs of the warfighter. DOD also wants to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and that new weapons are usable, affordable, and truly needed.
