Don't worry this doesn't actually queue you for a Warfront or anything. You get teleported to Arathi Basin to pickup a couple new quests designed to give you a tour. You'll see that it looks very different. The World Boss should be on the map too (Doom's Howl if you're Alliance).

My quest marker on the map was in the wrong spot. Eventually found Captain Roderick Brewston at coords 19.56.

Ok just to clarify things, there are a pre-quest before you can obtain this quest, you must complete all of your quests in regards to the war, and the main quest line that has you get friendly faction with several places, once you complete this step you can then move on to get this quest To the front! and use the teleporter to get to the proper place in arathi, I was stuck on this forever.. hope this helps someone that might be stuck on the same problem! Just keep following your main quest, and it will pop up after you complete the Unity quest.
