Military assembly, as for a padre (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parade

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

'military assembly' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for a padre' is the wordplay.
'a padre' can be anagrammed to 'PARADE'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parade that I've seen before include "Air - display" , "'Procession of bands, floats, etc (6)'" , "Show - display" , "Public procession as on St Patrick's Day" , "exhibition" .)
