I believe the answer is:

cadre

(Other definitions for cadre that I've seen before include "Nucleus of servicemen" , "Raced (anag) -- small inner group of activists" , "Small (military) unit capable of expansion when necessary" , "activist group" , "Group of key personnel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
