Resistance unit associate (8)

I believe the answer is:

partisan

(Other definitions for partisan that I've seen before include "Inclining to one side" , "(One) taking one side in dispute" , "Enthusiast" , "Strong party supporter" , "Prejudiced towards a particular cause" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
