Rounds in the morning for Medical Officer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ammo

'rounds' is the definition.
(rounds of ammunition)

'morning for medical officer' is the wordplay.
'morning' becomes 'am' (as in 12:00 AM).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'medical officer' becomes 'MO' (abbreviation).
'am'+'mo'='AMMO'

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for ammo that I've seen before include "that goes in magazine: ...?" , "Explosive devices" , "essential supplies for soldiers" , "Bullets, shells (colloq.)" , "Bullet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
