Bit of power seized by joint US paramilitary force (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
swat team
'us paramilitary force' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'bit of power seized by joint' is the wordplay.
'bit of power' becomes 'watt' (I've seen this in another clue).
'seized by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'joint' becomes 'seam' (seam is a kind of joint).
'watt' put into 'seam' is 'SWAT TEAM'.
