Small reconnaissance detachment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patrol

(Other definitions for patrol that I've seen before include "Make a regular tour to maintain security" , "Small group of Guides/Scouts" , "Regular beat of a guard" , "Detachment for security or reconnaissance" , "Scouting expedition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
