US presence in Turkey is covered by the NATO SOFA; (North Atlantic Treaty Organization - Status of Forces Agreement and its Implementing Agreements), the DECA; (Agreement for Cooperation on Defense and Economy), and the SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe) Agreements. These agreements, especially the NATO SOFA, have the force of US Treaties and, therefore, are superior in law to DoD Service regulations when in conflict with them. NATO SOFA applies to US personnel to include those on exercises, joint training, meetings, and long-term stationing.
