BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- America's top military commander in Iraq has sent a letter to troops challenging them to "occupy the moral high ground" after a Pentagon survey showed some service members were reluctant to report the "illegal actions" of fellow personnel.

In the letter, dated Thursday, Gen. David Petraeus wrote he was "concerned" with the poll's findings.

"This fight depends on securing the population, which must understand that we -- not our enemies -- occupy the moral high ground," he said.

The survey of ethics, released last week, assessed the mental health and ethical attitudes of more than 1,300 soldiers and nearly 450 Marines last year. (Read the report)

Results showed that fewer than half of soldiers and Marines would report a team member for unethical behavior.
