I have come to think of the turma as closest to troop.
Possibly then considering 2 turmae as a squadron, with the further possibility that 2 turmae form a cuneus.
That would leave an ala to be translated as regiment. I have seen turma translated as both troop and squadron, but also ala rendered as squadron.
