Military mission (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

'military mission' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Military aircraft's flight" , "Military aircraft flight" , "Raid - short trip" , "Breakout by besieged garrison" , "Operational flight by a bomber or fighter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
