Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Every four years, the Department of Defense, as required by law,
conducts a review of its forces, resources, and programs and
presents the findings of their Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) to
the President and the Congress. The QDR is instrumental in shaping
budgets, strategy, and force structure. In addition to reviewing
primary principles guiding the QDR, our speakers will discuss the
role America's allies will play in shaping strategy regarding the
War on Terror, Iraq, nonproliferation, and international security
in general.
