Does it mean they've just throw one, or one has just landed next to them- or can it be applied to either case? Thanks

When someone yells "GRENADE!" it means someone threw a grenade in your general direction. Drop andtake cover.
If someone in your team throws a grenade; he'll yell "FRAG OUT!" which simply put means, "I'm throwing a grenade at the enemy", so you take cover to make sure you don;t get a facefull of shrapnel.
Either way, just take cover and wait until the explosion.

"One just landed"! You should get down! If someone throws a grenade from friendly forces he isn't saying anything or he says something like "fire in the hole"! There is no reason to yell anything when you throw successfully a grenade to the enemy! If it is a prearranged attack the plan is given and the team watch each others moves. Every step is prearranged! If you have caught in a surprisingly situation then you shoot, find some cover and fight in a single line protecting at the same time your flanks. In that case the only reasonable way to use a grenade is in front and from flanks edges towards the enemy.
No soldier from the rear is permitted to use a grenade against the enemy from that position. It is not permitted to use grenades when friendly forces are firing and maneuvering ahead. Period. If you want to use a grenade you have to be in front. Extreme circumstances can some times be considered but a court martial is what you probably get. One more you yell "frag grenade" in case you throw a fragmentation grenade in front of you! Shrapnel can hit you very easily even from a distance up to 40 meters.

the term grenade is used when a grenade lands near a soldier. this then alerts the others in his squad where the grenade has landed and to take cover. the soldier that yelled grenade then tries to get out of the way of the exploding grenade. when you throw a grenade at the enemy you use the term fire in the hole ...to let your squad know to take cover....

It means that someone just threw a grenade and it landed next to them or near them, and you better get out of the way.

When a soldier yells grenade, it will usually mean "DUCK! GRENADE!"
Have you not seen any war movies?

It must apply when one lands near to you and must be a warning given to get out of the way - surely it would be very polite (and very stupid) to warn the enemy that you have just thrown a grenade?
'Excuuuuuse me, I am just about to fire an arrow at you - would you mind moving'?
Doesn't really work in a war situation does it!

It means their shoe is untied and they will be ducking down to tie it. When throwing a grenade I'm not going to announce I'll be doing it. I like the enemy to figure it out on thier own.

Usually it is incoming and you should run or hit the deck or ditch. When one is thrown, the soldier usually says 'Fire in the hole!!' which is an outbound grenade. Hope this helps!!!
