Arnold has become Olivers comrade-in-arms (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roland

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'become olivers comrade-in-arms' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'arnold' is the wordplay.
'arnold' can be anagrammed to 'ROLAND'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
