The objective was to provide arms instruction and guerrilla training as well as prepare three ‘Saccharine’ squads – (assassination teams). The team landed on 30 November and travelled through the Gudbrandsdal and then Østerdal areas training local instructors and forming a ‘Saccharine’ squad in both valleys to undertake assassinations. In a period of five weeks, working with a locally appointed leadership, they trained sixty new instructors before departing for Sweden in February 1943.
