Operation Display Deterrence was a 65-day NATO operation to protect the Turkish border region with Iraq, made in response to an Article 4 declaration by the Turkish government in response to the Iraq War.^[7]

Objectives and operational activity[edit]

It was aimed at defending Turkey from a threat from Iraq and deterring aggression. NATO's military deployment consisted of AWACS surveillance aircraft and crews, TMD units, and biological and chemical defence equipment. Command was set up in Eskişehir.^[2] NATO assets were sent to the Konya air base in Turkey,^[8] along with Patriot missile systems installed in Diyarbakir and Batman^[9] to help guard their airspace during military operations of the Iraq War.^[10]^[11]

Operation Active Fence[edit]

Similar assets, deployment, and lessons from this operation were carried forward to Operation Active Fence in 2012.^[12]
