Definition
中队 is a noun meaning a military unit roughly the size of a company or squadron, also used for police or firefighting units. The POS field here lists it as a measure word (p.w.), but that is a labeling error — it is not used as a classifier in modern Chinese. The correct pronunciation is zhōngduì, not just zhōng.
