field service means: the staff working outside the company - service / maintenance staff, commissioning of plants, but also sales staff / technical sales people

disagree  USER00230 (X): aussendienst is not just sales, but it's usually sales - hence sales force is acceptable in many contexts. "Field staff" is notr used in UK, I suggest "external service staff" or perhaps "mobile service staff"

  -> If you'd worked for as many years as I did for British Rail, you'd know it is - or at least was - used in the UK by one of the biggest companies in the days when I WAS one of the "field staff"....
