FO Teams might be "pure" dismounted infantry or might be the dismount section of a FO vehicle. However, once dismounted, the views and designation process (as well as the call to support) are identical.

In the observer position F8, the squad leader's position is visualized by a little 3d model of binoculars

F7 switches to a first-person view of the squad leader, the binoculars will be visible in this view as well:

Pressing N will toggle the "normal" view magnification which can not be used to generate target coordinates.

Pressing F2 activate the forward observer's sight:
FO day sight
This sight features a thermal view as well, which can be toggled by Num +.
TO thermal sight

Note that a dismounted FO team does not have access to the mounting vehicle's coordinates when calling for fire - they have to use their own sight.

Note that in the current version of Pro PE it is now possible to use the FO commander's binoculars and the forward observer's sight from within buildings (rev. 2.640).
