Detachment for security or reconnaissance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patrol

'detachment for security or reconnaissance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for patrol that I've seen before include "Reconnaissance unit" , "Scouting expedition" , "Small group of Guides/Scouts" , "military unit" , "Move round and keep watch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
