US braces for a long war

Since the attacks of 11 September 2001, the US has fought a global war against violent extremists who use terrorism as their weapon of choice, and who seek to destroy the American free way of life.

The enemies seek weapons of mass destruction and, if they are successful, will likely attempt to use them in their conflict with free people everywhere. Currently, the struggle is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the US will need to be prepared and arranged to successfully defend their nation and their interests around the globe for years to come.

This 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review is submitted in the fifth year of this long war. The QDR is part of the continuum of transformation in the Defense Department. Its purpose is to help shape the process of change to provide the United States with strong, sound and effective warfighting capabilities in the decades ahead.
