Literary notes about CADRe (AI summary)
The term "cadre" is used in literature to denote a core, structured group that forms the backbone of a larger organization or setting. In narratives with military or hierarchical themes, it often refers to a formally organized nucleus—such as a group of officers or selected personnel essential for training or operational readiness [1][2][3][4][5]—underscoring discipline and precision. At the same time, its application broadens in works of art, diplomacy, or social commentary, where it can describe the framework or underlying structure of a scene or institution [6][7][8][9]. This versatility allows authors to evoke a sense of order and foundational strength, whether speaking literally about a military unit or metaphorically about the essential elements of a cultural or creative milieu [10][11].
