Snapshooting Course for Jungle Fighters

The infantry are being taught how to be alert for infiltrating Japanese.

As the guys walk along the prepared course, an object flips up and the guys are supposed to shoot it.

There's three guys in this exercise. The first guy is the one being tested; a second guy records the results, and a third guy pulls the tripwires that cause the objects to flip up.

It seems to me that this would be an awfully slow way to train a group of guys, taking them one at a time. Maybe this was a training program for a small group of special fighters; I don't know.
