Optimi optimorum

Assuming that the military unit is mostly male, personally I'd go with
the masculine plural "optimi optimorum" - "the best (men) of the
best."

Indeed, that appears to be the closing motto on a web page about B26 marauders.
"OPTIMI OPTIMORUM!"

summi hominum

means "best (of the) people". Hope this option helps you to convey the idea of the motto. Good luck, Rick!
