In the ribbonfarm post, claims packs are "the grouping we use to navigate physical reality at a day-to-day, episodic level", while troops are with whom we "navigate multi-generational biological, life-scale reality".

I now realize that most people (young urbanites, at least) do not maintain friendships via pack beyond college. They are replaced by relationships.

Disrupt packs and troops, and what remains are tribes: disparate enough to find anywhere, but too weak to meet one's social needs.
