What does "thousands" refer to in the following sentence? Thousands of units or the number of soldiers?
"He also said he sent thousands of military intelligence special forces, marines, and paratroopers to secure the territory from Ukrainian soldiers."

It was noted in Japanese that "he sent thousands of units of...(何千もの部隊を送った) ", and I wonder it is common to refer to the number of units while omitting "the number of units".
