Squad leader? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ess

'squad leader?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ess that I've seen before include "top secret" , "Letter from Mid-West" , "Nineteenth letter" , "Curvaceous letter" , "One next to tee" .)

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