I found him to be a bit annoying to find, possibly because I was doing Hand-me-downs at the same time as Military Breakthrough. For Hand-me-downs, you're retrieving items from dead guys in the mine field, near the quest givers. I continued on down into the ruins, because there were other Spitelash mobs visible from there. They're all level 15 mobs, running about in groups of 3 - generally a spellcaster & 2 fighters. As a trio, they hit hard & fast - at least for a level 13 troll druid. LOL
However.......
Warlord Krillian isn't down there; he's on the ridge overlooking the mine field from the other side of the mine field. He's up on a ledge overlooking the field, with 2-3 spellcasters ranged around him. He's an easy level 13 kill. Don't forget to grab the quest item, on the ground next to him. Of note, if you run up after someone else has killed him, you can still loot the item, then kill him when he respawns.
So in this case, knowing he was at 27,51-ish wasn't terribly helpful; that's why I've posted this additional more descriptive post, in case anyone else is having the same issues as I did.

I think the weapon we collect (the SFG) might be a reference to to the BFG from the Doom and Quake video games. It's known as the BFG 9000 on the Doom series and as BFG10k on the Quake series.
BFG stands for Big F***ing Gun, so SFG might be Small F***ing Gun although I think the idea would be making a reference to the acronym (SFG -> BFG) and not to the whole name...

Description

We've lost contact with Sergeant Dynamo, stationed at the next ridge to the north of the central minefield. They were probably overrun. He had our last SFG. Go over there and get it back. Clear out any naga that have broken through while you're there.

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.

  • Hand-me-downsAzshara · Level 5-30

    First things first - we need more supplies for you and the other new recruits. There are some perfectly good standard issue packs on the bodies of our last round of recruits, in the minefield to the north. Taking their lessons to heart, I'd recommend you avoid stepping on mines yourself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • First Degree MortarAzshara · Level 5-30

    Hey bud! Like explosions? Of course you do. Who doesn't like explosions?! I've got mortars set up on the ridge to the east to hold the naga back. Go forth, recruit. Mortar them... mortar them all! Ahahahah.
