Morphology
integrated + logistic + support
The phrase's meaning is compositionally built from its parts: 'integrated' (unified), 'logistic' (relating to logistics/organization of supplies), and 'support' (aid/system), so a learner who knows those words can infer a combined system for coordinated logistical aid. Although it's a technical/military term, the semantic components align straightforwardly (and similar constructions exist in other languages), making the overall sense predictable.
Etymology
Integrated logistic support paints a simple picture: different supply teams—transport, spare parts and repair—are integrated, joined to support an operation so everything works together. That's why it means 'a coordinated system that shares resources and help to keep a joint mission running'.
