Does the first sentence of the lead actually make sense?

"during the first attempt by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF), which was a British Empire military formation, formed on 10 March 1916 under the command of General Archibald Murray from the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force and the Force in Egypt (1914–15), at the beginning of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War" - during the first attempt to do what? The sentence wanders off into an explanation of the EEF and appears to have lost its object?
