The organization's charter stressed its Catholic nature and declared its purpose as self-defense, aid to the Polish population of Pomerania in the face of German terror, and preparation for an eventual uprising against Nazi Germany. In addition to sabotage operations carried out by its forest partisan units, the organization was active in spreading anti-Nazi propaganda and in intelligence activities (notably, the Pomeranian Griffin was involved in the intelligence gathering on the V-1 and V-2 rockets).
