The group was instructed to make contact with existing organisations in southern Norway, establish W/T communication, provide instruction, reconnoitre and plan an attack against the aerodrome at Kjevik, northeast of Dropped on 10 December the group quickly made radio contact and at the end of December met local Milorg leaders.
