Morphology

Army + intelligence

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'Army' (the military land force) with 'intelligence' (information collection and analysis), so a learner who knows both words will infer it denotes the army's intelligence branch or unit. This noun–noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically common, making the expression immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.

Etymology

Army Intelligence comes from the simple image of an army team, Army, whose job is to find and study useful facts, Intelligence, about the enemy. So, Army Intelligence today means the part of the army that 'collects and explains information' to help commanders make decisions.
