Morphology

logistic + assistance

The phrase is directly compositional: 'logistic' (relating to organization of supplies/personnel) modifies 'assistance' (support), yielding 'support for logistical matters', which a learner can infer from the parts. This modifier+noun pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the MWE.

Etymology

Logistic assistance comes from the image of helpers planning routes and moving food, fuel, and equipment by trucks or ships. Logistic means organising and moving these goods and assistance means help, so the phrase means 'support to organise and move supplies'.
