Photo is of a Belarussian military camp. Source.
Any idea what those wood bench/table-like things outside of each tent are for?

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