What was the specific mission for? If you're just assisting people into Iraq, that would be a unit leadership/admin question. If you're in Iraq for thirty consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days then that should warrant a SSI-MOHE if you're orders are to be in Iraq.

I was in Kuwait for three weeks total, but that was just too get shipped in and out of Afghanistan.

The opine from JAG in Kuwait was one authorized step into a country with an authorized SSI-FWTS (Combat Patch) and you would be eligible. The 30 days consecutive or 60 days non-consecutive is in regards to the campaign medal.

If you did not actually depart Kuwait for Iraq than you are not eligible unless the status for Kuwait changes for that period that you were there.

My unit had SM's who stayed in Kuwait and did not receive a patch. It also had SM's who went to other countries that authorized the patch. Some of us got it, others didn't. Luck of the draw, mission and commander dependent.

If you were in Kuwait and never stepped into Iraq during your deployment, then no right sleeve patch for you.

You should get a statement of wartime service.

Typically, you would know if you'd been authorized a combat patch. Kuwait is not currently a combat zone, (it was at one time, but that was a long time ago). Obviously if you weren't in an actual designated combat zone, then you shouldn't wear a combat patch, and you shouldn't be seeking some loophole to try and wear one either.
