Consequently, before the invasion of Iraq had even begun, the Royal Military Police were given strict instructions that any personnel acting outside the rules of engagement would be held to account, and that any incident involving the shooting of an Iraqi or alleged abuse of Iraqi citizens would be thoroughly investigated.
