Target female officer commanding us (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

focus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'target' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'female officer commanding us' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'officer commanding' becomes 'oc' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'f'+'oc'+'us'='FOCUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for focus that I've seen before include "Maximum clarity of an idea" , "Point at which light rays converge or diverge" , "Where light-rays meet" , "Concentration of attention or energy" , "Concentrate on something, perhaps with camera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
