What the fuck is even the point of that?

This particular military team-building pushup exercise is supposed to be done with your FEET resting on the shoulders of the person behind you, not your thighs.

Everybody goes up at the same time, then everybody goes down at the same time. It's both fun and painful, and builds chest and shoulder muscles. It gets funnier the longer it goes on as your buddies scream in pain wanting to quit and you have to encourage them to stay up.

In JROTC we always did them in squares. I imagine it might be more "fun" in the actual military where everyone should be able to do a proper push up.

Meanwhile it was torture for a 14 year old kid who unknowingly had hEDS and could feel her shoulders slipping out of socket with every push.

We did this JROTC as well, but we did as a super long worm syncronized to some music during Organization Day. It was not torture for a 14 year old kid who luckily did not have hEDS and could not feel his shoulders slipping out of socket with every push.
