Military & Enforcement Consulting & Training for Film & Television

We bring real-world soldiers, police and special-ops professionals to
your production — training actors, choreographing tactical scenes,
and supplying authentic personnel and kit so your story looks,
sounds and feels real.

Director-friendly. Safety-first. Budget-smart.

Kurt Logan’s Film Commandos & SWAT is a production-facing
advisory service run by an actor with deep operational experience
and decades of industry collaboration. We specialise in delivering
practical, realistic military and police authenticity for film, TV and
streaming projects — from background personnel and weapons
training supervision to choreographed close-quarters combat,
formation drills, vehicle tactics and in-scene coaching.

We save productions time and money by solving the technical
problems that slow shoots down: we design efficient blocking for
complex tactical scenes, pre-train actors so fewer takes are needed,
and supply vetted personnel and equipment to reduce procurement
headaches.

F.A.Q.

Q: Can you provide cast or extras from specific nations/units?

A: Yes — our roster includes personnel from multiple countries and unit backgrounds. Tell us the look, language and skillset you need.

Q: How far in advance should we book?

A: For full advisory packages and unit supplies, 4–8 weeks recommended. For single-day coaching, shorter lead times may be available.
