Uloth's mission was to prevent German and Turkish agents from crossing the Persian frontier into Afghanistan, and ultimately India. His travels (primarily on camel, horse and donkeys) took him across deserts and uninhabitable regions of relatively unoccupied territory, many times relying on local tribes for shelter and food.
