Founder
Kawa Mawlayee
24 Years Military Service
Born in Afghanistan and raised in the United States, Kawa Mawlayee is the first and only Afghan-American Green Beret in the history of U.S. Army Special Forces. His career spans nineteen years as a Green Beret and five years as a Marine Corps infantryman, including numerous combat deployments with a concentration in the Middle East, building deep, firsthand expertise in firearms application, tactics, foreign intelligence, and human intelligence (HUMINT) operations.
Kawa has trained military units, law enforcement agencies, and government organizations across the United States and abroad. He also serves as a military consultant for film and television, advising productions on realistic tactics, movement, and weapons handling to bring authentic performances to the screen, including tailored training for high-profile actors and major productions.
Beyond 2ATG, Kawa stays active in his community, mentoring other men through personal and professional development groups, and partnering with several nonprofit organizations to raise awareness and funding for veterans in need, supporting programs that provide development and the extra support many veterans don't otherwise get.
What we provide
From script to wrap.
Engaged in pre-production or brought in mid-shoot, the work scales to the production.
Technical advisory
Script, pre-production and on-set advice on tactics, movement, kit and procedure, so the detail survives scrutiny from the people who lived it.
Cast & stunt training
Tailored packages for principals and stunt teams. Weapons handling, movement and team communication trained until it reads as instinct on camera.
On-set supervision
Safety and authenticity oversight during production, including live and blank-firing weapons and rehearsal of complex sequences.
Games & motion capture
Performance direction for capture stages: how weapons are actually carried, cleared, reloaded and fought with.
On location
Behind the scenes.
