Fellow in committee with computer software for soldiers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

commandos

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

'fellow in committee with computer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'software for soldiers' is the wordplay.
'software' becomes 'command' (command is a kind of software).
'for soldiers' becomes 'os' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'command'+'os'='COMMANDOS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for commandos that I've seen before include "Soldiers trained for raids" , "special service troops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
