Overview: Mission analysis is the foundation of JFC campaign planning. This paper examines how planners determine effects necessary to yield desired endstate during the EBO mission analysis process. The paper questions the suitability of applying the traditional task-focused mission analysis process to EBO planning. EBO's conceptualization of the adversary as a Complex Adaptive System, the increased requirements for unified action between various actors (military, government, non-government, and coalition), and the amorphous 4th Generation Warfare environment each pose new mission analysis challenges. EBO mission analysis is shown to be more problem structuring than problem solving.
