Quadrennial Roles and Missions Review Report
Abstract
The Quadrennial Roles and Missions Review (QRM) offered a unique opportunity for the Defense Department to further its strategic priorities by assessing the responsibilities of individual components and evaluating improvements to the way it does business across the enterprise. Completed toward the end of the 2006 QDR implementation cycle, the 2009 QRM capitalizes on changes the Department has made to its responsibilities, processes, and capabilities since 2006 and direction for the future established in its latest strategic guidance documents, including the 2008 "National Defense Strategy." From the onset of the Review, teams of senior civilian and military leaders from the Military Services, Joint Staff, Combatant Commands, and Office of the Secretary of Defense worked together to develop a framework that defines and links the Department's Core Mission Areas with its Core Competencies and Functions of the Armed Forces. Additionally, teams of civilian and military experts worked together to assess high-interest issue areas and propose actions to achieve the Department's primary objectives for this inaugural QRM: (1) Increase synergy across the Department's Components, (2) Improve the effectiveness of joint and interagency operations, and (3) Ensure that the Department continues to efficiently invest the Nation's defense resources to meet the asymmetric challenges of the 21st Century. This approach stems from DoD's understanding that dealing with long-term security challenges requires the Department to operate with unity, agility, creativity, and in concert with its partners across the U.S. Government.
