My guess, and it is a wild one, is Iranian of some sort. I hope that's good enough to win the all expenses paid trip to Hawaii. That is the prize for a correct guess, yes?

It is Kuwaiti 42nd Reserve Battalion. ASMIC Trading Post has a good id section on Kuwaiti patches. Apparently, after the first Persian Gulf war, the Iraqis despoiled the military supplies, so the Kuwaitis got rid of all their patches and made new ones. Troops brought them home as souvenirs. I can scan a copy of the article and send it to you????
