: an easy one this time:
: what exactly does it mean "based out"?

: context:

: Our river patrol unit is *based out* of the traffic division.

: Thanks

It means the base (or headquarters) for the employees in the river patrol is within the traffic division. It also means the river patrol is part of the traffic division.
