Regiment’s drug raid sergeant mostly organised (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grenadier guards

'regiment's' is the definition.
(regiment of the British Army)

'drug raid sergeant mostly organised' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'drug'+'raid'+'sergeant'='drugraidsergeant'
'drugraidsergeant' with its final letter removed is 'drugraidsergean'.
'drugraidsergean' is an anagram of 'GRENADIER GUARDS'.

(Another definition for grenadier guards that I've seen is " Soldiers".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
