Soldier for hire, in brief (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merc

(Other definitions for merc that I've seen before include "one hired for foreign work" , "Former cop" , "German make of luxury car (colloq.)" , "German car (abbr)" , "business-class car" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
