Sorry, I forgot this one,

“How many training missions are included with low offload?”

Offloads for training depend on receiver type and training requirements.

Why carry 60,000 lbs of extra aircraft around when you don’t need to?

Why fly at all, when you can use a simulator?
“The training system is composed of a full-flight and mission simulator (FFMS), air refuelling operator part-task trainer (PTT) and a cockpit integrated procedures trainer (IPT).”

US Air Force is also looking for a KC-X simulator like RAAF.
