Can be done all throughout the campaign, but if you find yourself completing the game without it, I recommend the level "Outpost" from chapter 4.

General grenade tips:
- If you are trying to hit large groups or even sometimes individuals, you will need to cook the grenade for a few seconds before throwing it, otherwise they will easily run out of the way
-If you have nail grenades, try and stick with them, its an easy guaranteed kill.

(If you don't have any grenades when starting this level, you could always play the level "Child" before it, and at the end of that level you will get the chance to purchase some - I started with 5 normal grenades)

In short:
- 6 easy kills from the patrol right at the start
- 2 kills from the nail grenades found above the patrol (on the metal bars)
- 2 kills anywhere else using the 5 or so spare grenades you should have.

In-Depth guide:
Get out of the tunnel at the start, and once you get into the open and can see soldiers, immediately turn right. Go into the bottom right corner, and you will find a ladder. climb up to the top and creep forward until you have a good vantage point of the 6 man patrol. Wait until the patrol stops and starts talking, then try and kill them all with as few grenades as possible. I managed to do it with a bit of practice in 2 grenades. That is 6 kills, you now only need 4 more. Kill the single guard on the upper levels (he more then likely attacked you after you threw the first grenade) with a gun, or a grenade if you feel up to it. climb up (as if you were playing the level) and in the middle of the metal bars you are walking on you should find 2 nail grenades. DO NOT throw grenades from here at the 2 soldiers shooting you - you WILL miss. Run up close to them and try and stick them with the nail grenades. That's two more kills, and you should have around 1 or 2 more grenades now, but if you don't, don't worry. Ignore the guy that runs out of the house, and throw a grenade into the room he ran out of (the room you want to go in) and you should have another 1 or 2 more kills. Now that you are in the close-quarters of the house, you should be able to get some kills quite easily. So from here, I will just list the locations left in the level where you can still find grenades (In case you missed with some throws) Approximately 1 on the top most level of the house on one of the soldiers, and 2 more at the radio station (where you put the tape recording if you have it) and then 1 or 2 on soldiers in the very final patrol before the level ends.

Good luck!

Edit: I didn't have any trouble unlocking this achievement, but it seems since the recent update may have broken a few achievements. If you are having trouble getting this achievement to unlock even after fulfilling the requirements, try clearing your xbox 360's cache, deleting the DLC and your save game, then playing offline. Thanks to Hybridchld for this tip.
