Signaltrupp training in the Allgau Allps, 1917

Many men are holding maps and a Blinkgerät is visible as well.

 

Based on the location of the photographer (J. Heimhuber, k. b. Hofphotograph, Sonthofen-Oberstdorf i. Allgäu), we can say these men were likely being trained for mountain warfare, as such units were usually trained in this region. They are equipped with G-Blink 16 or a "Spiegelsignalgerät 14" from Zeiss. Possibly, these men are a Gebirgs-Signaltrupp.
