RMP - Close Protection
photo category: misc
A pair of Royal Military Police (RMP) Close Protection Officers flank British Lt. Gen. John Cooper, the Deputy Commanding General for Multi-National Force-Iraq in As Samawah, Iraq. Note the C8 CQB carbines carried by the RMP bodyguards. Some of the CQB's features, such as its short barrel length, multi-position stock and RIS system that can accomodate a range of accessories, make it a good choice for close protection duties.
