Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) Analysis A Retrospective Look at Joint Staff Participation

Abstract

This documented briefing summarizes a review of Joint Staff participation in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) from the summer of 1996 through the spring of 1997. It is intended to identify lessons learned for subsequent defense reviews and to identify analytic tools that may be required in the future. To enhance candor and to uncover perceived and real problems, the research relied heavily on "not for attribution" interviews with participants in the QDR activities.
