Do they give soldiers like a storage place for furniture and other items? While the soldier is in a combat zone.

If the soldier lives in the barracks, they pack up their belongings and put them in storage for them while they are deployed. If they have their own place, I think that they have to pay for the storage themselves, the assumption being that they can just leave their belongings at the apartment/house for the duration of the deployment (but I'm not positive). The Army also stores single soldiers' vehicles for them for free, but the conditions aren't that great. They basically sit in a fenced-in gravel lot for a year or so - a lot of them look pretty bad by the time the troops return - flat tires, dead batteries, horribly dirty, etc. I've known people who pay for their own vehicle storage or leave it with a friend so that it won't be completely trashed when they get back.

No you pay for storage and then you claim the storage cost on your final travel voucher when you return from deployment.

Yes for personal property...i.e. house hold goods and vehicle...except sometimes they save money on the vehicle by having you park it in the unit's motorpool...
