The marking is placed over a half note and a whole note and then also over an eighth tied to a quarter.  Each time it is the 3 dots.  It is in the wind parts as well as the string parts.

Sounds like a slurred triple staccato to me. Is it a string part?
What's the note length?  Are there bars through the stem?
