Military back-up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reservist

(Other definitions for reservist that I've seen before include "Soldier able to be called up" , "Soldier called up when needed" , "One liable for call-up" , "militia member" , "Eg, a TA member" .)

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