Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Every four years, the Department of Defense is required by law
to conduct a review of threats, strategy, force structure,
resources, and budgets. The goal is to look ahead twenty years and
discern what the greatest challenges to U.S. national security
policy will be and determine how the U.S. will prepare. The 2006
Quadrennial Defense Review, released on February 3rd, is especially
important because it is the first QDR that has had adequate time to
consider the full implications of the devastating 9/11 terrorist
attacks. Throughout the past year, The Heritage Foundation has
dedicated considerable time and effort to assessing the greatest
challenges this QDR should address. Please join us as our
distinguished panel analyzes the QDR, examines its implications,
and discusses its implementation.
