If you are capped on garrison resources, do not skip this quest as you will not be able to proceed beyond a certain point. You will still be able to complete the quest.
Hope this helps someone as I've had to return just to do this and its follow-ups before I could proceed with the chain.

The enemy has explosive devices stored on the beach below. We must recover them so they are not used against us. Reports indicate that crates of explosives are scattered along the shoreline. While you search, Durotan and I will carve deeper into Iron Horde territory.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Too Many Irons in the Fire
We must not head into battle prematurely. Before we go after Orgrim, we must first deal with his troops. If we are to succeed in our mission of wiping out the Iron Horde from Talador, we need to start on these shores.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gazlowe's Solution
I've identified some high value targets down in the forest below. When you get near one, you can deploy my solution. Deploy it and the objectives will be neutralized with great ceremony.
