Made to take in army agent?

I believe the answer is:

force-fed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made to take' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'army agent?' is the wordplay.
'army' becomes 'force' (I've seen this before).
'agent?' becomes 'fed' (fed is a kind of agent).
'force'+'fed'='FORCE-FED'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for force-fed that I've seen is " Made to eat food".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
