Which of the following operations took place from August 27, 1992, to March 17, 2003?

The chosen answer is accurate because Operation Northern Watch and Operation Southern Watch were continuous operations established to enforce United Nations actions in the northern and southern no-fly zones over Iraq. These operations began in the aftermath of the Gulf War and continued throughout the specified timeframe of August 27, 1992, to March 17, 2003. Their main focus was on monitoring and preventing Iraqi military flights in these designated zones to protect Kurdish and Shia populations.

On the other hand, the other operations mentioned have different timelines. Operation Desert Storm was a part of the Gulf War that occurred in early 1991 and concluded in the same year. The Restore Hope Mission, which was aimed at humanitarian aid in Somalia, took place primarily in late 1992 and early 1993. Joint Endeavor and Joint Guard were operations involved in the stabilization of Bosnia and Herzegovina that started in 1995 and concluded in 2004, thus not encompassing the entire timeframe in question. Therefore, the sustained activities of Operation Northern/Southern Watch accurately fit the specified dates.
