Afghanistan, Iraq drive landmark defense review: "The Quadrennial Defense Review under way within the Defense Department will be unlike any other: the first to be driven by current wartime requirements, to balance conventional and nonconventional capabilities, and to embrace a 'whole of government' approach to national security, Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III said here Dec. 2.
'This is a landmark QDR,' Mr. Lynn told aerospace executives at the Aerospace and Defense Conference.
'And it comes at a time when the nature of war is changing in ways that we need to adapt to. ... The QDR seeks to identify these changes and the challenges they present to our security,' he said."
