combat team
Armed tactical group
A combat team is a military unit organized for battle, typically combining different types of forces—infantry, armor, artillery—under unified command.
The term emphasizes tactical integration rather than administrative structure: The combat team moved to secure the bridge.
In broader use, any group assembled to fight or compete aggressively together.
