Troop

The membership of the Boy Scout troop swelled.

We saw a troop of monkeys moving from tree to tree.

The troop was altogether destroyed.

Besides a stall of marble, a manger of ivory, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones, Caligula even gave this horse a house, a troop of slaves and furniture, for the more elegant entertainment of the guests invited in his name; and it is also said that he planned to make him consul.

Here warlike Epytus, renowned in fight, / and valiant Rhipeus gather to our side, / and Hypanis and Dymas, matched in might, join with us, by the glimmering moon descried. / Here Mygdon's son, Coroebus, we espied, / who came to Troy, Cassandra's love to gain, / and now his troop with Priam's hosts allied; / poor youth and heedless! whom in frenzied strain / his promised bride had warned, but warned, alas! in vain.

In a tiny bay she found a troop of little children running about naked and paddling in the water; she wanted to play with them, but they were frightened and ran away.

Some people speculate whether the next big war will be a "slow war" with troop deployment or a mechanical push-button "fast war." Some people note that at the "micro level," there is aggression, so at the "macro level," there will be also.

If there would be World War III, would there be much troop deployment as in World War II? Or, would it be very quick, like a thundering rain of ballistic missiles crossing over the oceans? Are there secret weapons that would kill millions instantly?

Twelve gentlemen of the Horse Guards were empanelled, having unanimously chosen Mr. Alexander Truncheon, who is their right-hand man in the troop, for their foreman in the jury.

The troop horses came with the regularity of clockwork twice a day down to drink under her window, and, as the weather grew hotter, kicked up their heels and shook their heads furiously under the maddening sting of the dun-fly.
