Morphology
The meaning 'a military installation where army personnel are stationed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'army' (land forces) with 'base' (operations/station). This noun+noun composition follows common, cross-linguistic compound patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Army base comes from a simple image: an army (soldiers) and a base (their home or center) where they live, train and keep their equipment. So, army base means 'a place where soldiers live and work'.
