At least one of the major oil firms uses a pool of laptops requisitioned and distributed outside the US. Leave your company laptop + phone at home, fly to your destination outside the US and the local office will provide you with temporary equipment. The company in question doesn't use this policy for all countries, typically just China, Russia and some of the more questionable nations they do business in (Nigeria, Kazakhstan, etc). They don't bother for travel to, say, London.
