If this is a period picture (asuming at this point it is) some of the equipment is parked too close together. In the Operations manual and video they specify like 100 yards between parked vehicles to keep an enemy bomb from takeing out large numbers of vehicles. But over all looks pretty well followed.

It is circa 1943 stateside training, note the ACKWX in the center of the photo. FYI, combat situations do notalways allow sufficient acreage to spread out. Not the WWII ETO pics of vehicles on crowded streets in small French Towns. The Liberation of Paris photos of combat troops passing thru Paris is another, while they were parading, there were enemy. snipers still at large.
