Currently there is a Bomber Task Force running in the Pacific region, with multiple B2s flying out of RAAF Amberley. I don’t know for sure if the KC-46s are working with the bombers out there, but seems like more than a coincidence to have both types of airframes at an “austere” base like Amberley at the same time.
Looks as if you are correct about the Bomber Task Force.

305th AMW prepare for BTM.

I wouldn't call that austere. RAAF Learmonth would austere. :)
