A manoeuvre to achieve a specific goal (6)

I believe the answer is:

tactic

(Other definitions for tactic that I've seen before include "Ploy, strategem" , "Manoeuvre designed to outwit enemy" , "An action planned to achieve a specific end" , "Military manoeuvre" , "Action aimed at a specific end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
