BEIJING, July 13 -- A United States military report calls for enabling the armed forces to manage various challenges in an uncertain future.

    Undersecretary of Defence for Policy Douglas Feith says the future threats to the United States cannot be identified in advance.

    Therefore, Feith says the country must build a flexible force which can be quickly deployed and can counter different kinds of challenges, which will be the key message of the upcoming Quadrennial Defence Review.

    The quadrennial report will be presented to the Congress in February 2006.

    Released by the Defence Department every four years, the report usually comes up with suggestions for fundamental defence strategy changes, to be examined by the Congress.
