Position troops for battle (6)

I believe the answer is:

deploy

(Other definitions for deploy that I've seen before include "Spread out for battle" , "Move (forces) into action" , "Utilize" , "Put in position ready for battle" , "Put into effective position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
