hand-to-hand combat training, Thursday, Oct 25, 2001, in Quantico, Va.
Tsatsouline is an ex-Soviet drill instructor who prepared Soviet special forces for
the "mud war" they fought in Afghanistan during the 1980s. Tsatsouline, who has
since become a U.S. citizen, has spent the last week training Marine instructors to
teach the same drills and training regimen that he taught Soviet soldiers. (AP
