This is a CUSTOM US MADE Patch that a Marine had made when he was an advisor to the Iraqi Army back in 2007-2008. It is a morale patch for the Iraqi Scout Sniper Platoon that he worked with. The patch reads: 2-1-7 (2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 7th Division) and says "Scout Sniper Platoon, Strength and Honor" in Arabic.
It also includes the Jaguar, which is highly respected in Iraqi Culture, as well as a crossed Kalashnikov/Dragunov.
