Field office...

What is a field office in the sense of a secret government organization?
  

Top answer

Many companies/organizations have a staff of people who work at the main plant or the home office, and also have people who work "in the field," as salesmen, repairmen, undercover agents, etc. If they have a lot of activity in a distant area, it behooves them to staff an office there. It's called, strangely enough, a field office.
