Military force (4)

I think it could be either:

army

navy

'military force' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for army that I've seen before include "See 7" , "Large number of people" , "See 17" , "Ground forces" , "fighters" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the Penny Press, The Times, The Star Tribune, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Guardian, The Sun, the Universal, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
