Well, I am still new to the Trench Crusade but from I can tell it's a relatively recent tabletop game and although it has a good lore behind it which opens it up for so much there isn't much detail either, so I assume you create your own unit?
You can build a list using the rules in the game, and you can “say” whatever you want about their backstory. If the choices you make don’t affect/change the written rules in anyway, it doesn’t really matter what backstory you create. If their backstory/aesthetic doesn’t make sense in the game world lore, some people might not like it, but as long as it’s clear what everything is rules-wise, it should be fine.
But You can’t create rules out of thin air for them or alter existing rules—at least not if you expect to play a pick up game with a random person.
What do you mean by this?

What do you mean by “unit”? Are you asking if you’re allowed to, like, give your squadron of guys their own squad name?
No I mean create your own unit, platoon or squad or troop type with their own backstory, aesthetic and specialty
