An email from Nov. 18, 2021 Foreign Policy's "Situation Report" includes this red flag with text.

Caption: Unidentified red-field flag with white-slogan carried on Kuwaiti "Land Force" army tank in a military exercise with Saudi & U.S. militaries, north of Kuwait City, c. Nov. 18, 2021. Could be unit-commander's flag (tells both friendly and enemy forces where the head honcho is) or might be some religious flag encouraging tankers into battle.
