Provide soldier with victory, to a point (4)
I believe the answer is:
give
'provide' is the definition.
(I know that provide is a more specific form of the action give)
'soldier with victory to a point' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'gi' (term for US soldier).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'victory' becomes 'v'.
'to a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'gi'+'v'+'e'='GIVE'
(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "be generous?" , "Contribute - elasticity" , "Transfer possession" , "Bestow or donate" , "Yield, produce" .)
