Quadrennial Defense Review

The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) is a comprehensive assessment conducted every four years by the U.S. Department of Defense. It evaluates the nation’s security needs, military capabilities, and future threats to develop a strategic plan. The review guides decisions on defense budgets, troop levels, technology investments, and military priorities, ensuring that the U.S. is prepared to defend itself and adapt to evolving global security challenges. Essentially, it’s a detailed planning process that helps shape the country’s defense strategy for the coming years.
