The Incident at Samcheok, also known as the Task Force 141 Mutiny, was an insurrection instigated by the Geheimabteilung with aims to end the Task Force as an effective special operations unit. It was planned and executed by Yamato Kitagawa, the son of Kiriya Kitagawa who is the Task Force commander, with hopes of eliminating the latter for mere revenge. Alongside Yamato were insiders who defected to East Europa and were made members of the Geheimabteilung, particularly William Crown, Arnold Fredericks, Samson Williams. The insurrection effectively ended when Yamato was subdued by his father, and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment in Saint Helena.
