This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The DoD is facing the complex challenge of simultaneously supporting continuing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and preparing its military forces to meet emerging threats of the new security environment. The 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) articulates DoD's strategic plan to rebalance capabilities in order to prevail in current operations and develop capabilities to meet future threats. The QDR acknowledged that the country faces fiscal challenges and that DoD must make difficult trade-offs where warranted. This report provides an assessment of the degree to which DoD addressed each of these items in its 2010 report on the QDR and the supplemental information provided to the defense committees. Charts and tables.

Maritime security threats to the U.S. are broad, incl. the naval forces of potential adversary nations, terrorism, and piracy. The attacks on the USS Cole in 2000, in Mumbai in 2008, and on the Maersk Alabama in 2009 highlight these threats. DoD considers maritime domain awareness -- identifying threats and providing commanders with sufficient awareness to make timely decisions -- a means for facilitating effective action in the maritime domain and critical to its homeland defense mission. This report examines the extent to which DoD has developed a strategy to manage its maritime domain awareness efforts and uses a risk-based approach. It is a public version of a previous, sensitive report. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
