Morphology
The meaning 'the process of preparing soldiers' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'military' (relating to soldiers/war) with 'training' (organized learning to acquire skills). This adjective+noun composition is a standard, compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Military training comes from the clear picture of soldiers doing drills and exercises together. The word training means learning by practice and military means soldiers, so military training is the practice soldiers do to 'prepare' and learn the skills they need.
