Our Story
Kawa Mawlayee's Story:
Kawa Mawlayee has dedicated over 23 years—and counting—to military service and the Special Operations community. Throughout his career, he has had the privilege of training alongside and learning from some of the world’s most elite Tier 1 and Tier 2 operators and instructors. His expertise stems from advanced training across multiple Department of Defense schools and agencies, as well as extensive collaboration with foreign counterparts overseas.
Kawa’s operational experience comes from multiple deployments worldwide, with a strong focus on the Middle East. His time in these high-threat environments has given him an in-depth understanding of environmental threat analysis, vulnerability assessments, and risk management. He firmly believes that survival and success depend on understanding your surroundings, recognizing cultural nuances, and identifying abnormal patterns of behavior.
His instructor experience was refined at the 5th Special Forces Group, where he taught at the Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat (SFAUC) course. At SFAUC, Kawa and his fellow cadre trained 40 Green Berets every five weeks in an intensive program that included two weeks of advanced shooting applications on the flat range, followed by two weeks of close-quarters battle (CQB), mission planning, and urban warfare.
SFAUC is where Kawa sharpened his expertise in firearms instruction, public speaking, and tactical training. While he enjoys teaching advanced shooting techniques, his true passion lies in CQB—specifically, structural assessment, threat analysis, and the methodologies behind strategic building takedowns.
Our Mission
What does all of this have to do with firearms and tactical training?
Firearms are just one tool in a broader system of defense. Much like a hammer is only useful when you understand its role in construction, a firearm is only as effective as the operator’s ability to assess their environment. Without a deep understanding of situational awareness, spatial dynamics, and threat analysis, even the most skilled shooter will be at a disadvantage.
At 2Alpha Training Group (2ATG), we don’t just teach firearm mechanics—we teach you how to apply them effectively in the environments where you live and work. Our training philosophy is rooted in more than just marksmanship; we advocate for a lifestyle of preparedness. We help you develop the mindset, awareness, and decision-making skills necessary to process information quickly, think ahead, and make strategic choices under pressure.
Unlike many other training companies, we don’t just focus on the 1% scenario where you have to draw your firearm. We teach you the why and when—not just the how. We train you to think three steps ahead, allowing your mind to focus on tactical decision-making while executing mechanics and firearm manipulations instinctively.
When you attend a 2ATG course, you’ll gain:
✅ Improved shooting mechanics, accuracy, and efficiency
✅ Enhanced mental acuity and critical thinking skills
✅ A deeper understanding of situational awareness and environmental assessment
We train you to perfect your form in a controlled environment so that when chaos strikes, you can execute with confidence and precision.
