    Article 5 has been invoked once, the US invoked it during 9/11. They asked for some extra air reconnaissance around the middle east, and basically to have allies be ready for joint action that never materialized. Article 5 is not an immediate declaration of war or anything.

      I always thought ISAF was the NATO 5 action.

      I must admit I didn’t really pay attention to the legalities back then though.
