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

NATO's military deployment consisted of AWACS surveillance aircraft and crews, TMD units and biological and chemical defence equipment. Operation Display Deterrence played an important part in maintaining stability and demonstrating solidarity at a volatile time.
During Operation DISPLAY DETERRENCE in 2003, US and Dutch EADTF personnel accomplished the first operational assignment by providing guidance and support to enhance NATINADS in the defence of Turkish territory....When NATO enhanced its defensive posture for ACTIVE FENCE TURKEY (AF TUR) in 2013, the EADTF not only provided planning expertise for developing the initial defence design and dedicated training for deploying troops, but also provided significant personnel support to sustain HQ AIRCOM's BMD mission.
