Deliberately avoid military command (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shun

I believe this is a double definition.

'deliberately avoid' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'military command' is the second definition.
(shun is a common military parade command)

(Other definitions for shun that I've seen before include "Parade-ground language" , "Keep away from, have nothint to do with" , "Deliberately have no contact with" , "Avoid contact" , "military command" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
