gun crew / firing crew

Explanation:
"Guarnição de tiro" é a equipe que guarnece a peça (diz-se, por exemplo, que um obuseiro ou morteiro tem "guarnição de X homens" ou "de X elementos"). As metralhadoras normalmente têm guarnição de 2 elementos (municiador / atirador), morteiro de 5, obuseiro de 3 a 6, e assim por diante dependendo do tamanho e complexidade da peça.

Gun crew: The personnel assigned to service an artillery piece.
