Hurry up and organise a late recce (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accelerate

'hurry up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'organise a late recce' is the wordplay.
'organise' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'late'+'recce'='alaterecce'
'alaterecce' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCELERATE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for accelerate that I've seen before include "Go faster" , "Crank up" , "snowball" , "Quicken" , "Increase speed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
