TheWoWDBOn an alt, I got stuck at 4/6, unable to gain credit for healing any other troops - even after relogging. Abandoning and restarting the quest allowed me to regain credit.
Also, the grounds south of the quest giver has typically had many untouched troops needing healing.

If you're getting "item not found" when trying to bandage, try logging out and back in. Also watch your count, sometimes it will show you bandaging but the target is tapped and you won't get credit for the count.
Nope, many times I'm not getting credit from using the given item either-very irritating.

Description
It has been quite some time since we faced such a large number of Scourge. We were ill-prepared for an assault of this scale. While we managed to escort many to safety, there are some who were wounded in the chaos. Search the training grounds for any survivors from the onslaught. We need all the help we can get.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Securing the Area
The Scourge's attack was as sudden as it was unexpected. Truth be told, they caught us unawares. Through swift action, we were able to rally our defenses... though not before the tournament grounds were overrun. We must secure the area before we can mount a counteroffensive.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scouting from a Safe Distance
The resurgence of the Scourge is troubling enough, but there are also reports that the Cult of the Damned has risen anew as well. If true, then that bodes ill for us all. We cannot allow the cultists' machinations to continue unchecked. I suggest we engage in some reconnaissance.
