Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'US' (United States) + 'Army' (land military force), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand this refers to the United States' land military. This is a standard proper-name noun–noun construction common across languages and therefore fully transparent to learners.
Etymology
US Army comes from the words US, short for United States, and Army, a group of people trained to fight on land. It became the name for the army of the whole country that trains and sends those 'soldiers', so US Army means the country's land army.
