Qatar plays an active role in the collective defense efforts of the [[Gulf Cooperation Council]]; the other five members are [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Kuwait]], [[Bahrain]], the [[United Arab Emirates|UAE]], and [[Oman]].

[[SIPRI]] states that Qatar's plans to transform and significantly enlarge its armed forces have accelerated in 2014, and in 2010-14 Qatar was the 46th largest arms importer in the world. Orders in 2013 for 562 tanks and 75 self-propelled guns from Germany were followed in 2014 by a number of other contracts, including 34 combat helicopters and 3 AEW aircraft from the US, and 6 tanker aircraft from Spain.<ref>{{cite web|title=Trends in International Arms Transfer, 2014|url=http://books.sipri.org/product_info?c_product_id=495|website=sipri.org|publisher=Stockholm International Peace Research Institute|access-date=18 March 2015|ref=SIPRI Fact Sheet, March 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319023856/http://books.sipri.org/product_info?c_product_id=495|archive-date=19 March 2015}}</ref> As of 2016, Qatar maintains advanced anti air and anti ship capabilities with deliveries of Patriot PAC-3 MSE Batteries,<ref>"[http://www.janes.com/article/66572 6/lockheed-martin-providing-additional-pac-3-mses-to-us-army-and-upgrading-pac-3-missiles-for-fms Lockheed Martin providing additional PAC-3 MSEs to US Army and upgrading PAC-3 missiles for FMS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728120545/http://www.janes.com/article/66576/lockheed-martin-providing-additional-pac-3-mses-to-us-army-and-upgrading-pac-3-missiles-for-fms |date=2017-07-28 }}", Jane's 360. 29 December 2016.

Reports indicate that between 2014 and 2024, Qatar significantly enhanced its military capabilities, with defense spending rising by 434%. These accounts also suggest that a substantial portion of the arms trade during this period was marred by corruption, including instances of bribery.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024 |title=Raytheon's Dirty Business in Qatar (Sham Contracts) |url=https://corruption-tracker.org/case/raytheons-dirty-business-in-qatar |access-date=2024-12-16 |language=en-US}}</ref>

The armed forces were founded in 1971 after the country gained independence from the United Kingdom.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tossini |first=J.

With a personnel strength of 16,500, Qatar's armed forces are the second-smallest in the Middle East.<ref>{{cite book |last1=International Institute for Strategic Studies |title=The Military Balance 2025 |date=12 February 2025 |publisher=Routledge. |location=London |isbn=978-1-003-63076-0 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=olpEEQAAQBAJ}}</ref> France has provided approximately 80% of Qatar's arms inventory. 
Qatar took part in the [[Gulf War]] of 1991, with a battalion at the [[Battle of Khafji]].<ref>''Arabs at War: Military Effectiveness, 1948-1991'', University of Nebraska Press, 2002, {{ISBN|0-8032-3733-2}}</ref> It also hosted the U.S. [[614th Tactical Fighter Squadron]]<ref>[http://www.lucky-devils.net/ The Gulf War with the 401TFW/614TFS Lucky Devils] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141122092921/http://www.lucky-devils.net/ |date=November 22, 2014 }}. Lucky-devils.net. Retrieved on 2011-03-28.</ref> and the Canadian Air Task Group with 26 CF-18s both at Doha.

Since the Gulf War, Qatar has pursued a limited program of force modernization. Qatar has spent $12 billion to buy [[MIM-104 Patriot]] [[surface to air missile]]s. In July 2008, the US [[Defense Security Cooperation Agency]] announced Qatar's official request for logistics support, training, and associated equipment and services. The total value of the support arrangements could be as high as $400 million.

In March 2011, Qatar announced the participation of its Air Force in the enforcement of the [[Libyan no-fly zone]].<ref>[http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/qatar/qatar-premier-defends-military-participation-1.780653 Qatar premier defends military participation]. gulfnews.com (2011-03-22).

===Qatari Emiri Land Force===
[[File:Allies train in Qatar to thwart terrorism 130430-F-CJ989-002.jpg|thumb|Qatar Armed Forces in training.]]
The Qatar Emiri Land Force is the largest [[land warfare|land]] [[military branch|service branch]] of the Qatar Armed Forces.
Initially outfitted with British weaponry, Qatar shifted much of its procurement to France during the 1980s in response to French efforts to develop closer relations. The tank battalion was equipped with French-built [[AMX-30]] main battle tanks, before later being replaced by German [[leopard 2|Leopard 2A7's]].<ref name="Janes">{{cite web|title=Qatar takes delivery of Leopard 2A7+ MBTs {{!}} Jane's 360|url=http://www.janes.com/article/64957/qatar-takes-delivery-of-leopard-2a7-mbts|website=janes.com|access-date=13 June 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161027163625/http://www.janes.com/article/64957/qatar-takes-delivery-of-leopard-2a7-mbts|archive-date=27 October 2016}}</ref> Other armored vehicles include French [[AMX-10P]] APCs and the French [[Véhicule de l'Avant Blindé|VAB]], adopted as the standard wheeled combat vehicle. The artillery unit has a few French 155&nbsp;mm self-propelled howitzers. The principal antitank weapons are French [[MILAN]] and [[HOT (missile)|HOT]] wire-guided missiles.

Qatar had also illicitly acquired a few [[FIM-92 Stinger|Stinger]] shoulder-fired SAMs, possibly from Afghan rebel groups, at a time when the United States was trying to maintain tight controls on Stingers in the Middle East. When Qatar refused to turn over the missiles, the United States Senate in 1988 imposed a ban on the sale of all weapons to Qatar. The ban was repealed in late 1990 when Qatar satisfactorily accounted for its disposition of the Stingers.

The Qatari Emiri Navy (QEN), also called the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces (QENF), is the naval branch of the armed forces of the State of Qatar.

===Qatar Emiri Air Force===
{{Main|Qatar Emiri Air Force}}

The [[Qatar Emiri Air Force]] was formed in 1974, three years after achieving independence from Great Britain in 1971. Initially equipped with ex-RAF [[Hawker Hunters]], the air force soon began expansion with six Dassault/Dornier [[Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet|Alpha Jets]] in 1979. Fourteen [[Dassault Mirage F1]] were delivered between 1980 and 1984. After the [[Gulf War]], Qatar's air force infrastructure was upgraded by France for $200 million, leading to the order of nine single seat [[Dassault Mirage 2000|Mirage 2000-5DEA]] multi-role combat aircraft and three two seat [[Dassault Mirage 2000|Mirage 2000-5DDA]] combat trainers in August 1994. Deliveries started in December 1997, and involved the buy back of the remaining 11 Mirage F1s by France that were later sold on to Spain.<ref>[http://www.scramble.nl/qa.htm Scramble on the Web – Qatar Emiri Air Force]. Scramble.nl.

British pilots in Oman remain on duty with the air force, and French specialists are employed in a maintenance capacity. Nevertheless, an increasing number of young Qataris have been trained as pilots and technicians. The past decade saw Qatar increase its air force with 96 planes from three different countries: the [[McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle|F-15]] from the US, France's [[Dassault Rafale|Rafale]], and the [[Eurofighter Typhoon]] from the UK.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arms trade corruption – what do we know? |url=https://worldpeacefoundation.org/blog/arms-trade-corruption-what-do-we-know/ |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=World Peace Foundation |language=en}}</ref>
