Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'military' (relating to the armed forces) + 'rating' (a rank or grade). A B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer that 'military rating' refers to a person's rank/grade in the armed forces, a common and cross-linguistically transparent noun–noun combination.
Etymology
Military rating comes from the old idea of 'rating' someone, meaning you write their level next to their name on a list. So a military rating simply shows the 'rank' or position a person has in the armed forces.
