An Earth bender could theoretically create a perfect surface with no friction, that would be handy for various transportation mechanisms as well as in battles where the friction of the ground we stand on is the basis behind much of what we can do with our bodies mechanically, they could also create giant spike pits, Vietnam would have loved them because of the tunnel systems that gave Americans PTSD for a century, and more importantly an Earth Bender could shift tunnel systems and mazes above ground constantly to make Hell for anyone and sow confusion while directing friendly parties, they could also utilize Earth bending as a form of long-distance stealthy communication.
Smoke bombs from creating impact in the earth to send dust flying vertically and in all directions on the surface would also be handy.
They could also rise cities on plateaus and make sieges a nightmare on top of making the strongest plateaus on the planet with compression techniques.
