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.

          Maj. Gen. Leonid Kosinsky, an assistant to Belarus’ defense minister, told international reporters that Wagner troops could use the former Belarusian army camp near Tsel, about 90 kilometers (about 55 miles) southeast of Minsk.

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