Equip anew to get back to central Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rearm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'equip anew' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'get back to central germany' is the wordplay.
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'back' becomes 'rear' (something's rear is its back).
'to central' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle letter of 'germany' is 'm'.
'rear'+'m' is 'REARM'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rearm that I've seen before include "Hand new weapons" , "Provide with a new supply of weapons" , "Provide new weaponry" , "fit again" , "Equip with new or better weapons" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
