Bedeutet Instandsetzungs-Zug, whose task it is to repair materiel. Dunno the British/US term I'm afraid.
Jalapeno Dec 2, 2008:
Not a translation, I'm afraid, but it might help to know that this is probably short for "Instandsetzungszug".

agree Kim Metzger : Since the Zug is part of a Trupp, I think Zug would be section and Trupp would be platoon.

agree hazmatgerman (X) : My dic. gives echelon-graded "maintenance platoon" variants without "support", but such detail is probably unneccessary here.
