Uses compulsion in the armed services (6)
I believe the answer is:
forces

The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forces that I've seen before include "Troops and weaponry" , "Pushes" , "soldiers" , "Military and police, say" , "Compels or inflicts" .)
