Are we talking Marines or Guard? What type of homeworld? If they're Marines then are they still sufficiently monastic as to use "brother" as a title?

Seems a bit odd, but I'm sure there's space in the background for it :)

Schaeffer's Last Chancers are the most obvious group I know of, but they do rely on physical appearance a bit (i.e. the brute actually is a brute compared to the rest and so is called "Ox"). Marines wouldn't have quite as much variance, so some of those style of options wouldn't quite fit.

I'm trying to think of other inspiration at the moment, but I can't think of any other small groups of commando-types that I know of.
