It's somewhere between 2.1 and 2.3 here

2.1 (Of an army) advance over territory:
'the guerrillas have pushed south to within 100 miles of the capital'

2.3 (push for) Demand persistently:
'the council continued to push for the better management of water resources'

I'd characterize it here as "a deliberate and explicit effort to achieve a goal."
