Host; military (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

army

I believe this is a double definition.

'host' is the first definition.
(both can mean a large number of people)

'military' is the second definition.
(the armed forces)

(Other definitions for army that I've seen before include "Large military body" , "Fighting force" , "Military land force" , "See 6" , "See 17" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
