The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) is a legislatively-mandated, 4-year review of DOD strategy and priorities. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel presents it as a 10-year plan with three priorities:

1. Defending the homeland
   
2. Building security globally, to aggression
   
3. Projecting power by remaining prepared to win decisively against any adversary
   

The QDR sets a long-term course for DOD as it assesses the threats and challenges that face our nation. It re-balances DOD's strategies, capabilities, and forces to address today's conflicts and tomorrow's threats.
