Checking FlightAware every now and then. Does "Air Mobility Command" describe a refueling plane? If so, I've watched one fly from Charleston, S.C. to the Adirondacks where it's circling Fort Drum.

You should be able to tell if it’s a refueling plane based on the plane type:

Air Mobility Command has a lot of missions, including airlift (transporting troops, supplies, and equipment), special operations missions, aeromedical evacuation, and refueling.

The refuels that have been squawking this week have all been K35R type aircraft. Lower number in air and squawking were ~4 late in the evenings.. Largest I saw this week was up to 14 Wed/Thur - which would align with most of the troop movement of NG troops.

Of course those are the ones squawking and every refueler normally has fighter escort of some degree - which were not squawking.

I’ve just looked for the aircraft type for the most part.
