Abstract

This is the second article derived from the MHAT-IV public domain report and is the first attempt to address the issue of battlefield ethics in the current Iraq war. The study summarized here attempted to address the ethical behavior associated with the treatment of insurgents and noncombatants, battlefield ethical actions and decisions associated with perceived rules of engagement, reporting of violation of such rules, and battlefield ethics training.

The article reports the results using a series of figures.
