So where does all the confusion come from? Is contention by the service components regarding EBO just petty semantics or obstructionist in-fighting over a "rice bowl"? The divisive inter-service politics of EBO is utilized to illuminate certain issues but will not be researched and discussed in great detail for this monograph.
