EBO… a process
for obtaining a desired strategic outcome or “effect”
|
on the enemy
through the synergistic and cumulative application of
|
|
the full range of
military and nonmilitary capabilities at all levels of
|
|
conflict. An “effect” is the physical, functional,
or psychological
|
|
outcome, event,
or consequence that results from specific military or
|
|
non-military actions.

Knowledge-centric
operations postulate that the more knowledge we
|
|
can create and
share about the adversary, the operational
|
|
environment, and
ourselves, the more we can focus our capabilities to
|
produce desired
effects with less risk of unintended consequences
|
|
and more efficient
expenditure of national resources.

|
The
functional concept of operational
net assessment is integral
to the
|
harnessing
technology to improve knowledge therefore the EBO
|
|
process
must incorporate ONA.
