1986 Goldwater-Nichols ActRequired the President to submit an annual national security strategy report to the Congress that includes a “comprehensive description and discussion” of:
• The “worldwide interests, goals and objectives” of the United States • The “foreign policy, worldwide commitments, and national defense capabilities” necessary to implement the strategy • The short-term and long-term uses of the political, economic, military, and other elements of national power • The adequacy of U.S. capabilities to carry out the strategy

Timing Issues• In a perfect world the national level strategy documents are nested,
with all of them providing a common thread to integrate and synchronize the planning and activities of the Joint Staff, combatant commands, Services and combat support agencies.
• The thought process, and timing would start with the NSS, and flow to the NDS > NMS > Maritime Strategy. But, the current NDS was written under the Bush administration in 2008 while the current 2010 QDR was published before the latest NSS. Consequently, there is some discontinuity among the three documents that might warrant some consideration.
• This situation (document timing out of sync) is not unusual.

One Time Special Documents • In January 2012, the President and SecDef signed a new
Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), with a title of Sustaining US Global Leadership: priorities for the 21st Century. – Serves as a update to the NSS– Additional reading for TSDM session 10
• SecDef issued new Budget Guidance in the wake of the January 2012 DPG. – Titled Defense Budget Priorities and Choices– May be viewed as an update of the QDR which outlines force
structure, modernization and other budget guidance thru 2017. QDR ties resources to strategy
– Additional Reading for TSDM Session 13 & 14 (Resource Allocation and Force Planning)
