The RAF has launched a probe after photographs surfaced appearing to show a serviceman posing with a dead Taliban fighter.
The pictures were apparently taken in the wake of an attack by insurgents on Camp Bastion, the main British base in Afghanistan, in September 2012.
The images first appeared on the website Live Leak.
An RAF spokesman said: "Inappropriate actions will not be tolerated in the armed forces.
"The RAF is treating this incident extremely seriously and has launched a military police investigation.
"As this incident is subject to an ongoing investigation it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
The attack at Camp Bastion happened after 15 insurgents breached the perimeter of Camp Bastion using small arms and rocket propelled grenades.
The insurgents were repelled by US Marines and RAF troops, but two Americans were killed and eight UK troops injured.
Fourteen insurgents were killed in the attack.
