in-country
On native soil
In-country means within a particular country, especially when referring to military or diplomatic operations conducted inside a nation's borders rather than from outside.
The term gained currency during the Vietnam War era: He served two tours in-country.
It also appears in business and aid contexts: We need in-country partners who understand the local market.
