Lack of interest in the body of troops (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detachment

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'lack of interest' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' is a link.

'the body' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is a link.

'troops' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for detachment that I've seen before include "several reserves?" , "indifference" , "reserve" , "Objective state; group of troops" , "Aloofness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
