Military facility shuts, nine redeployed (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nissen hut

'military facility' is the definition.

'shuts nine redeployed' is the wordplay.
'redeployed' indicates an anagram.
'shuts'+'nine'='shutsnine'
'shutsnine' with letters rearranged gives 'NISSEN HUT'.

(Other definitions for nissen hut that I've seen before include "Corrugated iron shelter" , "metal shelter" , "army building" , "Military shelter made of corrugated steel" , "Corrugated iron construction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
