Firm support for crisis response team (5)
I believe the answer is:
cobra
'crisis response team' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'firm support' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (abbreviation for company).
'support' becomes 'bra' (a support for the breasts).
'co'+'bra'='COBRA'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cobra that I've seen before include "government emergency committee?" , "Poisonous snake" , "Type of snake" , "Deadly snake called King" , "Hooded ophidian" .)
