Both anime and manga refers the unit as X隊 (X-tai), which translated into X Unit. How can you say it's not official? The translation X Unit is not official. 隊 can mean squad, unit, team, platoon, etc. They are all synonyms, but they are ultimately different words. Viz and Crunchyroll use X Squad. The databook uses Team of X. Scans use X Unit. So there are many conflicting translations, and I believe the databook's takes priority.

There is no familiar army for many Japanese. And data book has been made for children. So the word most familiar "team" for they were used. I think so.However, I do not think it is necessarily correct to use the original words when you translate it.There is a different culture by the country, I think is that it is best for the combined translation to it. Most importantly is the fact that "cool".I feel it is cool to translate "X隊"　to  X unit,X squad.So I think that good. By the way, Izumi　was named the "わくわく動物野郎" to Hairein.that is a parody of the TV show called "わくわく動物ランド".VIZ was translated as "Mr. Discovery channel" to this. That it is the highest to cool the translation I think.
