Disorientated unit at place overlooking North surrender (10)
I believe the answer is:
capitulate
'surrender' is the definition.
(capitulating is a kind of surrendering)
'disorientated unit at place overlooking north' is the wordplay.
'disorientated' indicates an anagram.
'overlooking' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'north' becomes 'n' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north').
'unit'+'at'+'place'='unitatplace'
'unitatplace' with 'n' removed is 'uitatplace'.
'uitatplace' anagrammed gives 'CAPITULATE'.
(Other definitions for capitulate that I've seen before include "Yield" , "Surrender" , "Give in" .)
