A group of ten soldiers was called a "contubernium". However this was in the later empire. It was originally a group of eight men. These were tent mates and they remained together all through their service years.

What is the original meaning for decimate?

The original meaning for the term decimate is to kill one man out of every ten. This comes from ancient Roman times when mutinous squads were decimated. I.e. 1/10 of their soldiers were killed. The method in those times was to get the remaining 9 soldiers of every 10 to kill the chosen soldier. Nowadays however, the meaning for decimate has changed to mean the destruction of the larger part of a group. Have fun with this! ;)
