one was large, two smaller seemed to be escorting.

That's just the President going home after his visit with the Strategic Air Command in Nebraska.

Strategic Air Command

No such creature, not for a good long time now. Strategic Command (StratCom) is at Offutt, but its a unified command with no assets of it's own (Air Combat Command owns the bomber aircraft, Navy owns the boomer submarines). Commander is currently a Navy Admiral. Airborne Command Post is based at Offutt as are various recon versions of the -135 aircraft.
