Top class deal arranged and maintained by country’s foremost soldiers, repeatedly (5,2,2,5)

'repeatedly' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'top class deal arranged and maintained by country's foremost soldiers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'class' could be 're' (Religious Education, school subject) and 're' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'deal' is 'dela' which is located in the answer.
'soldiers' could be 'reme' (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers corps) and 'reme' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
