Aren't all operations effects based? Surely every operation is planned with a desired outcome (effect) or did we in the past just carry out ineffective-based operations? And what is an "instrument of power"?

Why not just say "EBO are operations using all the assets at your disposal to plan and co-ordinate blowing the enemy/insurgency to bits thus ensuring their surrender/capitulation/acceptance of a US-led constitution"?
