[LON-CAPA-dev] Group Vs. Group

[Robley Light]

Can a type 2 group exist inside a type 1 group as well?  I take it type 2 is
broader--almost like a section?

Synonyms for "cadre" include
squad, corps, unit, team, band, company, crew, force, troop
faction, group, core, hard core, band, set, bloc, clique.

How does "cadre" or "bloc" grab you?
