Morphology
The meaning 'a facility or base that houses and supports military forces' is directly derivable from combining 'military' (related to soldiers/war) with 'installation' (a structure or facility). This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition common across languages and therefore readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun military installation comes from the idea of 'setting up' soldiers, buildings and weapons in one place. It meant putting troops and equipment into position, so an installation was the place they were set up, and today it means a 'base' where the military lives and works.
