Any idea what those wood bench/table-like things outside of each tent are for?

Think it probably is boots, guessing four people per tent, store your boots underneath, so you don’t track dirt into the tent then sit/ leg up on-top to tie up your boot

That was kind of my first thought as well. Boots are important for soldiers. I slightly doubt it because of how clean they are for a previously used camp. Also not really sure what the four cross-blocks on the top would be for.

According to a couple articles the tents and benches were just recently set up and each tent holds about 50 people.

From the source article, suggests it was a previously used camp. Though I guess it could be new setup on the base or something.

Lieutenant Dan said the same thing, but then he lost his legs.

If not for lacing boots, maybe for climbing into something high off the ground, like a truck? I immediately thought of mounting horses, but I think I forgot which century it is.

If there is 50 people per tent, like it's been suggested, I wonder if they aren't used for water jugs for personal hygiene? Picture Jerry cans with little spigots on the caps. I used them back in the day. But use a little water to brush your teeth, shave, whores bath, whatever. Also to drink
Just an idea.
