  • Section (Alpine club)

    The section (German: Sektion) of an Alpine club (or that of any such Alpine society or association) is an independent club or society that, together with the other sections, forms the main organisation ("Alpine club"). Membership of an Alpine club is normally only possible through membership of a section. The task of an Alpine club section is the maintenance of tradition and culture, the Alpine training of its members, the planning and implementation of mountain tours and expeditions, and also the maintenance of huts and trails in the mountains. Many sections own Alpine club huts. After the initial task of the Alpine clubs - i.e. the development of the Alps for tourism and Alpinism, was considered as largely completed in Central Europe today, the work of the sections moved increasingly into the service sector, including the organization of Alpine courses and tours as well as sponsoring climbing gyms.

  • The German Alpine Club consists of 354 legally independent sections with a total of ca. 815,000 members (as at January 2009). These are distributed all over Germany, the number and geographical density of the sections increasing markedly from north to south: for example, whilst there us only one section (Rostock) in post code region 17 (Neubrandenburg), there are over 20 sections in Munich. The membership numbers of Alpine club sections varies from under one hundred to several tens of thousands; the two largest German Alpine Club sections, Munich and Oberland, both resident in Munich, form a cooperative partnership (with free membership of the other section) and have together over 110,000 members. This places them just behind FC Bayern Munich as the sports club with the greatest membership in Germany.
  • Section (military unit)

    A section is a military sub-subunit in some armies. In many armies, it might be a squad of 2-3 fireteams (i.e. seven to twelve soldiers). However, in France and armies based on the French model, it is the sub-division of a company (equivalent to a platoon).

    Commonwealth

    Australian Army

    Under the new structure of the infantry platoon, sections are made up of eight men divided into two four-man fireteams. Each fireteam consists of a team leader (corporal/lance-corporal), a marksman with enhanced optics, a grenadier with an M203 and an LSW operator with an F89 Minimi light support weapon.

    Typical fire team structure:

    At the start of World War I, the Australian Army used a section that consisted of 27 men including the section commander, who was a non-commissioned officer holding the rank of sergeant.

    During World War II, a rifle section comprised ten soldiers with a corporal in command with a lance-corporal as his second-in-command. The corporal used an M1928 Thompson submachine gun, while one of the privates used a Bren gun. The other eight soldiers all used No.1 Mk.3 Lee–Enfield rifles with a bayonet and scabbard. They all carried two or three No.36 Mills bomb grenades.

    [Chorus: Black Thought: (2X)]
    You can't front, we comin with the shots to pump
    We got more cuz it's what you want
    Thump it in your section and throughout your section
    In your area, throughout your whole section, yo...
    [Black Thought:]
    Y'all know the dynasty, the Roots repertoire
    The lieutenant from the reservoir, serve the spar
    The injurar, preditar of a competitar
    I send MCs where the paramedics are
    At first, I'm like "nah", I'm nonchalant from afar
    Then strike to cut the fake rap star jugular
    With irregular balance of the cat burgla-rar
    Known to parlay with Garcia Vega cigars
    I know the flavor because me and the thugs minds are mutual
    We congruent, lay on the corner with the trauma unit
    I'm from the lab where the bomb's distibuted
    So never try to duplicate the skills executed
    Son you'd get electrocuted from the worldwide reputed
    Shine like nickel heat that blow your mind when I shoot it
    Some know me as the man that's from the Roots crew
    Others as the bad lieutenant of Snyder Avenue
    We go an eye for an eye
    Behead like a samurai that'll command the dynasty until he die
    Who will imply that I lack a-biliti?
    Make your words known, amplify the u-tiliti
    I'm crooked like the "I" on a toxic malt liquor
    The land whipper, the Dom Perignon champ sipper
    The fifth'll bring it all together like the zipper on a butter leather
    The bad lieu a bring the bad weather
    So to whoever got riff, let it rest
    Reflect, then recollect on the way it was set
    It's the veteran architect that flows with the rhythm of sex
    Be on the low shotgun in the Lex
    With my man low to flex
    I'm restin where they handle the Tecs
    And the lyrical vandal is next flow
    So my man, my mizza, my man
    M-ilitant, what's the master plan?
    Once again...
    [chorus:]
    [Malik B.]
    Peep the oratory, niggaz bore me with theatrics
    Moms listen to they daughter story about my packets
    The adverse is on your table, stabilize emotion
    A soldier at ease, but on post of up most in
    Brag and boast in my anecdotes that choke
    Invade your whole terrain, you feel the pain provoke
    When I breaststroke your wavelength of intensity
    My alliance bring forth to you an entity
    Your whole vicinity, I contaminate with hate
    Got no time to debate, but hold up wait, sit straight
    It's in mil, the elicit, you violate, you get a ticket
    MCs you can't tell I expel, you get evicted
    From out your misery, serve your ass with my delivery
    Allah makes the ground you steppin on shivery
    Permanent tears run through your thoughts you queers
    It's all upstairs, where there's a crowd, table and chairs
    For years, been on the mic, I'm like a dike with stairs
    When I strike, I stay severe, niggaz stay low in they glare
    From over here, my Range Rover square to blast off shots
    Switch the pitch from southpaw to unorthodox
    I shock your brain with the miscellaneous
    Who beez the zaniest...nigga with words that are spontaneous?
    [Black Thought:]
    A yo, the purpose mainly is to generate the Luther Van
    Lyrical contraband, controllin your command and...
    [chorus:]
    [Black Thought:]
    All the way live from 2-1-5, all the way live from the 6-1-0
    Gettin cash, get the gusto
    One time, it's the dynasty flow
    Runnin it down the line, it's another
    Yeah, you in tune to another ill
