Military body right behind a business house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cohort

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

'military body' is the definition.
'cohort' can be an answer for 'body' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'military' bit.

'right behind a business house' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'behind' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a business' becomes 'co'.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'co'+'ho'='coho'
'rt' after 'coho' is 'COHORT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cohort that I've seen before include "Unit of Roman soldiers - group of people of same age" , "One tenth of a Roman legion" , "Group of similar people" , "Group of people with a shared characteristic, age say" , "Fighting band; part of Roman legion" .)
