People assembled for a specific mission (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

task force

(Other definitions for task force that I've seen before include "special unit" , "working group" , "specially organised unit" , "Group with a mission" , "Group formed for a specific purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
