The badge in the center is from the Mohammed Bin Ghanem Al Ghanem Naval Academy (sometimes styled as Maritime Academy). The full view of the badge can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/110625737304811/posts/d41d8cd9/242982334069150/

Naval Jack

Qatari Naval Jack 2:3 image by Željko Heimer, 26 February 2012

Blue flag with golden emblem in the middle. The emblem consists of an anchor surrounded with a wreath and topped with a crescent and star, below is a ribbon bearing inscription. (The image is missing the inscription on the ribbon.)
In the Corr. 4 to the Album 2000 the drawing is lightly updated: the emblem is made bigger and the wreath of (palm?) leaves is green(ish). I suspect that therefore the image in the original 2000 edition is simply an error due to lack of more precise data, and not that a new design was introduced since.

A light-blue field flag of the Qatar Emiri Air Force, containing its air-force roundel (aircraft marking) and in the top-hoist area the flag of Qatar, with golden fringe; c. July 2020. Another version of this flag was seen in a much longer dimension.
Bill Garrison, 9 July 2022

The Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) is the air arm of the Qatar Armed Forces. They began building their Air Force in 1974 with help from the French after gaining their independence from the United Kingdom in 1971. The QEAF is headquartered at Al-Udeid Air Base. The air base also is home to the forward commands of the United States Air Force, the Royal Air Force, and other foreign allied forces.

Qatari Joint Special Forces

  image by Pete Loeser, 19 September 2022

The Qatari Joint Special Forces (QJSF) act, as I understand it, as the special operations force of Qatar (similar to the US Special Forces, or Green Berets).
