Congress mandated that every 4 years the Department of Defense (DOD) conduct a review to examine the national defense strategy and its implications for force structure, modernization, infrastructure and the budget. Because the 2001 review, which was issued on September 30, 2001, will have a significant impact on the department's planning and budget, GAO was asked to assess (1) the strengths and weaknesses of DOD's conduct and reporting of the review, and (2) whether changes in the QDR legislation could improve the usefulness of future reviews. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-13/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-13.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-13/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-13.pdf GAO-03-13 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-13 Other Written Product GAO-03-13; Quadrennial Defense Review: Future Reviews Can Benefit from Better Analysis and Changes in Timing and Scope; Internal controls National defense operations Planning programming budgeting Reporting requirements Schedule slippages Strategic planning DOD Quadrennial Defense Review Title 10 Section 118 10 U.S.C. 118 Title 50 Section 404a 50 U.S.C. 404a Volume 113 Page 512 113 Stat. 512 Public Law 104-201 Public Law 106-65
