Morphology
The meaning 'an injury sustained in combat' is directly and compositionally derived from 'combat' (armed engagement) + 'injury' (physical harm). This noun–noun combination follows a regular compounding pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Combat injury comes from the words combat meaning 'fighting' and injury meaning 'wound', creating the clear image of someone hurt while fighting. So it means a wound or harm a person gets directly during combat.
