Article 5 of NATO's charter -

"Article 5

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or
more of them in Europe or North America shall be
considered an attack against them all and consequently
they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of
them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective
self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of
the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so
attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert
with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary,
including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain
the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result
thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security
Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the
Security Council has taken the measures necessary to
restore and maintain international peace and security . "

"Such action as it deems necessairy is not very specific.

The break up of Yugoslavia and the ensuing civil war threatened the territorial integrity of several member nations.

Thats a real streach. There may have been refugees but they didn't threaten the territorial integrity of any NATO country. At least not more then illegal immigrants from Mexico could be said to threaten our territorial integrity and you don't see us asking for help from the German army to invade Mexico or patrol our border.
