Impact of wind on fighting service (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
air-force
'service' is the definition.
(I know that air force is a type of service)
'impact of wind on fighting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'impact' could be 'force' and 'force' is present in the answer.
'wind' could be 'air' (air is a kind of wind) and 'air' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
