Brigade's gear (3)
I believe the answer is:
rig
'gear' is the definition.
(rig is a kind of gear)
'brigade's' is the wordplay.
'RIG' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rig that I've seen before include "Apparatus; fix" , "Put sails on" , "uniform perhaps" , "Oil platform" , "Set up; equipment" .)
