Core of servicemen (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadre

(Other definitions for cadre that I've seen before include "Tight-knit military unit" , "Raced around the framework of a military unit" , "Nucleus, framework" , "Group of key personnel" , "Nucleus of key personnel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
