English term or phrase: go outside the wire
- Navy counterterrorism intel has suffered leaks over the last few months. Al Qaeda has managed to get a step ahead of us.
- We suspect a mole.
- N. has been analyzing data trying to look for a common denominator. I had no idea it involved Lieutenant A.
- What's his connection?
- Well, Lieutenant A. had gone outside the wire, working contacts in Djibouti, gathering valuable intel, some of which had been compromised. I wanted to talk to him about who he shared the information with.
- Yeah, he cooperate?
- When I called him, he seemed preoccupied. He said he couldn't talk. He'd get back to me.

Wire = barbelés (qui délimitent le camp)

Un système de catégories basé sur des niveaux de soins progressivement plus grands et plus diversifiés répond aux besoins de notre personnel dans le théâtre, dans et hors des barbelés ou, comme on le dit en bon français, inside or outside the wire

Le Maj Broomfield n’en est pas à son premier déploiement en Afghanistan. Lors de sa dernière période de service, il n’est pas sorti souvent à l’extérieur du périmètre de sécurité

Maj Broomfield has been to Afghanistan before. On his previous tour, he didn’t get outside the wire as much
