Do I get combat pay and a combat patch for getting deployed to Saudi Arabia?

stop being a glory hound!!!!! Just do your job.

Shouldn't, not much combat going on in Saudi Arabia that I can see.

Yes on Combat Zone(Right shoulder sleeve insignia.) This will be authorized usually by your commander or Batt. Commander

Well, SPC Sal S., I guess my first question would be "with whom did you enter into combat against?"
Just an aside, I've never seen such heavily decorated uniforms as Gen. Miley and current era top brass. What I find helpful now-a-days is to look for the National Defense Service Medal on those overweight uniforms. It's the first one everybody gets for having successfully completed basic training. Anything above that ribbon on a uniform is for something more important than basic training. From there, I guess anything less important is below that first ribbon. Pretty much like drapes in a living room... nice looking. Take a look at the uniform of 5 Star Gen. Eisenhower at the end of WWII. Not too many drapes at all, but look at his accomplishments - need I say more?

Well, SPC Sal S., I guess the first question in my mind is "Who were you engaged in combat with?"

Troops serving in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can now get $225 in extra pay each month thanks to a new change to the Pentagon’s Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) list.

The change is effective backdated to Sept. 14, 2019, and back pay is authorized.

IDP is authorized for duty performed in an area designated as hazardous by the Defense Department. Imminent Danger Pay is $225 monthly and can be prorated to $7.50 for each day in a designated location. You do not have to serve the entire month in that location to receive the payment.

Unlike some pays, IDP is taxable.

Yes

You may be eligible for Hazardous Duty Pay without also being eligible for a "combat patch."
The Army combat patch, officially known as the "shoulder sleeve insignia-former wartime service" (SSI-FWTS), recognizes soldiers' participation in combat operations.
While stationed in Kuwair 95 to 96, I received Hazardous Duty Pay, but were not authorized "combat patches."
Almost every single Army regulation is online. The most dangerous individual in any service is one who knows and understands the regs.

Edit - I guess you do get a combat patch.

Looks like you get imminent danger pay - which is taxable.
