I have been leading a thread on the test server forum that is giving a good idea on this massive new quest line in the 1.9 release in Silithus called "Field Duty". There will be quite a bit of gathering needed and killing needed to obtain enough badges to get the rewards listed below. Also, I think the badges will factor into the opening of the gates in Silithus. Feel free to reply with questions or thoughts... I will also post this message on the SGA forum.

The "Field Duty" quests requirements that I have learned so far are shown below. Please add any additions or corrections by replying to this message and I will keep list below current.
You obtain the Field Duty quest at the Cenarion Hold in Silithus. It gives you an unsigned letter and you must travel to a new camp outside Hive Zora and get the papers signed by Captain Blackanvil. You then return to the quest giver and you choose one of the following: Logtistics Assignment, Combat Assignment, or Tactical Assignment. I simply ran back and forth and obtained to obtain multiple assignment and you can have as many assignments as your quest log will allow.
Logistics Quests (collect and turn in this stuff)
1 4 Globes of Water, 4 Power Anti-venom, 4 Smoked Desert Dumplings

4 A: 6 Oils of Immolations, 5 Goblin Rocket Fuel, 10 Dense Blasting Powder

5 1 Large Brilliant Shard, 1 Large Radiant Shard, 1 Huge Emerald
6 A: 2 Moonsteel Broadswords

1 Kill Azure Templar
2 Kill Crimson Templar
3 Kill Earthen Templar
4 Kill Hoary Templar

Again, you can have at multiple assignments at the same time. When you complete an assignment you typically get 650xp and 50 CC rep. You simply turn in the scoll that gave you the assignment and then you are give a new assignment. You cannot repeat the same assignment but you may/may not get the same assignment again as you are given new assignments.
These assignments may/may not be involved in the opening of the AQ gates. My guess is that we will have to gather a certain number of badges as one of many prerequisites to opening the gates.
Here are the quest rewards for turning in the badges from this quest line:
The first reward quest is called “Cenarion Battlegear” and requires friendly reputation, 5 combat badges, 3 logistics badges, and 7 tactical badges. Once you collect the various badges you can choose between:
1. Gloves of Earthen Power – leather AC 109 Int 9 +27 damage/heals
2. Band of Earthen Wrath – ring +8 int +1 spell crit +3 mana/5 secs
3. Earthweave Cloak – cloak AC 44 Agi 15 +1 hit
The second reward quest is called “Veterans Battlegear” and requires honored reputation (note – this may be honored and a bug), 7 combat badges, 4 logistics badges, and 4 tactical badges. Once you collect the various badges you can choose between:
1. ? of Earth – trinket reduces threat
2. Band of Earthen Might – ring +6 str +1 crit +1 hit
3. Earthen Power Vest – cloth chest AC 93 Int 22 +1 spell crit + 25 damage/heals
The third quest is called “Stalwarts Battlegear” and requires revered reputation, 15 combat badges, 20 logistics badges, 17 tactical badges, and a Mark of Romulus. Once you collect the various badges you can choose between:
1. Deeprock Bracers (epic) – AC 309 10 str 10 agi 8 sta
2. Earthcalm Orb – offhand 10 int 8 mana/5 sec +18 heals
3. Rockfury bracers – cloth wrist AC 42 7 fire resist +27 damage/heals +1 hit spells
4. Might of Cenarius – ring +8 sta + 4 wep damage + 1 hit
The fourth quest is called “Champions Battlegear” and requires exalted reputation, 20 combat badges, 15 logistics badges, 20 tactical badges, and a Mark of Cenarius. Once you collect the various badges you can choose between:
1. Fist of Cenarius (epic) – 62.6 Mace 3.5 spd +40 damage/heals +2 crit spells
2. Wrath of Cenarius (epic) – ring Use: Increase +132 damage for 10 secs
3. Earthstrike (epic) – trinket Use: Increase AP by 280 for 20 secs
Perhaps the 4 Epics above are the "casual" epics that people have been asking for?
