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.

        A old saying in my country says “take care of your feet, they carry you through your whole life” so taking care of your shoes is just as important as a helmet for a soldier.

        The cross things might be just for stability reasons.
