Pass as an officer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

col

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pass' is the first definition.
(col is a term for a mountain pass)

'officer' is the second definition.
(short for colonel)

'as an' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for col that I've seen before include "Mustard" , "dip?" , "Officer" , "A depression in mountain range" , "Mountain defile" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
