German term or phrase: Flugabwehrregiment
If you're saying that a German guy spent his military service at the "Flugabwehrregiment", would you leave it in German or put an English equivalent? Thanks

Explanation:
Translating such terms always depends on the intended use. In general, I'd translate such generic terms. If the unit is named, i.e. the 66th Flugabweherregiment, I'd leave the name in German and add the translation in parens.
