Morphology

office + of + intelligence + support

This NP is fully compositional: 'office' (an official body) + 'intelligence' (secret/security information) + 'support' (aid) yields an office that provides support related to intelligence. The institutional 'Office of X' naming pattern is widespread and a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily infer the basic function, even if they miss domain-specific nuances about interagency relationships.

Etymology

Office of Intelligence Support names a part of the U.S. Treasury. Imagine a small office where staff support people who gather secret information called intelligence and 'connect' them with officials who work on international money and trade, so the name shows it links intelligence to economic policy today.
