What a seaborne invasion will do for the army? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landforce

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

'what a seaborne invasion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'will do for the army?' is the wordplay.
'will do' becomes 'land' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the army?' becomes 'force' (army is a kind of force).
'land'+'force'='LANDFORCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for landforce that I've seen is " Military unit".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
