Boeing's website is a large repository of information of all of Boeing's planes including the Boeing KC 135. There are also many books about the Boeing KC 135 such as BOEING: Boeing 707 KC-135 and Their Derivatives by Dominique Breffort available for purchase.

Normally KC-135 carry fuel, as the are in flight refuelers, but the person who loads all military aircraft are called "Loadmasters." I believe they are all enlisted rates.

The C-17 does not have the necessary equipment, such as a receptacle for receiving fuel, to conduct air-to-air refueling with a KC-135. The C-17 is designed to be refueled in flight by aircraft equipped with a boom system, while the KC-135 uses a boom or drogue system to transfer fuel to receiver aircraft. The incompatibility of the refueling systems prevents a C-17 from reverse air refueling from a KC-135.

The fuel limit for vehicles loaded on KC-10 and KC-135 aircraft typically depends on the specific mission requirements and regulations set by military standards. Generally, the KC-10 can carry up to approximately 56,000 pounds of cargo, while the KC-135 has a cargo capacity of around 30,000 pounds. However, the exact fuel load for vehicles is often restricted to ensure safety, weight balance, and compliance with airworthiness directives. Specific details may vary based on the type of vehicle and mission profile.

They'd have to have a refueling probe installed and hustle like heck to keep station with a KC-135, who would have to seriously slow down to ditto. I'd have to look at the spec's to confirm and invite a more informed opinion. A KC-130 would be the smart solution and may already be in inventory.

The KC-135 has been in service to the U.S. Air Force since June of 1957, and since then has refueled nearly every aircraft the the inventory from that time onward.
KC-135s typically refuel using what is known as an Air Refueling Boom, which is a flyable, arm-like device attached to the rear of the aircraft. The KC-135 is also capable of being outfitted with one and/or two Probe-and-Droge-type refueling devices. These are the MPRS (Multi-Point Refueling System) Pods, and the Probe-and-Drouge Adapter.
This flexibility in function allows the KC-135 to refuel both Boom-type receivers, which are standard to the U.S. Air Force inventory, and Drogue-type receivers, which are typical of the U.S. Naval inventory.
The only commonly used, fixed-wing military aircraft that cannot be refueled by the KC-135 are basic models of the C-130, the U-2, and all UAVs (such as the MQ-9 "Reaper" and RQ-4 "Global Hawk").

The Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker was used first in 1950 and onward until replaced by the KC-135. Although the KC-97 gave good service to the USAF for several years, its piston engines made it slow in comparison to the new generation of jet-powered aircraft it had to refuel, and the midair refueling operation was often difficult.
