While I agree with Columbine and MuRaSaKiiNkI about the use of "to" vs. "into" in this case, I'm not sure their rationale is correct. I think the key difference here is not the size of the group, but the nature of the move: whether it is a total and complete relocation or just an expansion into new ground.
When a person moves to a new home, the person is completely relocating himself.
When a group or organization moves into a territory, it is not completely relocating itself; it is simply expanding into territory it didn't occupy before.
But it is also possible for a large group or organization to completely and permanently relocate itself. In that case, I think you would use " to", not "into". Since such actions don't happen as often, it's harder to think of examples, but they do exist: for example "the Japanese government moved to Tokyo". |
Mm, well I moved into my new house and out of my previous home.
