The only objective mentioned in canon is a link up with Free Latvian forces near Kaliningrad (see below). How the 8th ended up in Latvia is baffling, and never adequately explained, AFAIK.

Another potential objective for large unit "raids" in T2k would be the rustling of livestock- in particular, draught and cavalry horses, given the importance of both to the armies of 2000.
