Units ordered to part of North Africa (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunis

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

'part of north africa' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'africa' relates to this answer.

'units ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'units' with letters rearranged gives 'TUNIS'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tunis that I've seen before include "North African location" , "Carthage lies near this N. African city" , "Tom, Dick or Harry" , "North African port and capital" , "Mediterranean capital and port" .)
