The crew would use those binos if they were firing in the direct role (they could see the target), but more often they'd be firing indirect (they can't see the target). The binos could be considered a survey instrument (determining where, exactly, the gun is, which is important!) or could be used by a forward observer, who would be the one to see where the rounds land.
Man, I wish the article would have said what the crew of 8 do. I suspect a couple are there to relieve some of the others due to fatigue or in case of quick extraction? Some of the Joes have a 2nd M.O. of "armorer" - would they be involved in this somehow? (Can you tell I've never served in the military?)
Oh, and because it is considered the "Mountian Howitzer" I'd want to have Alpine involved in some way!
