There are several types of "combat pay".
What most people think of as "combat pay" comes to an extra $5 a day. Big whoop. I don't know if you get that in Qatar or not.
What really matters is the "combat zone tax exemption". If you are in a combat zone... even if just for one day... that entire month's pay is free from Federal Income tax.
In Qatar you do get the combat zone tax exemption, at least you did when I was there.
