Imagine using a C-17 to do this. It happened!
C-17's were used to transport an entire USMC LAV brigade into an unpaved austere field in Afghanistan. C-17's were then used to fill the all ground bladder tanks and fuel trucks of the brigade. A C-17 would land with near full tanks, off load fuel, take off, refuel from an orbiting KC-10 tanker, land, and offload fuel. This was repeated three or four times till the C-17 crew reached their crew duty day limit, at which point the C-17 left and another C-17 arrived and repeated the process (with the KC-10s also repeating the process) and so on so on until the Marines had a fuel dump full of fuel, plus all their vehicles and fuel trucks full of fuel. Helluva way to tanker fuel.
