ZAN CTLR DESCRIBED CONFLICT EVENT AT FL280; WITHIN MIL AIRSPACE; INVOLVING BOTH MIL AND FAA CTLRS; SUGGESTING NEW LOA PROCS UNSAFE.

Narrative

THERE WAS A MIL MISSION IN ZAN AIRSPACE. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED IN THE LAST FEW YRS THAT ACFT REQUESTING RETURN TO BASE FROM THIS AIRSPACE WILL RECEIVE AN IFR CLRNC FROM ZAN CTLRS. THE LOA SAYS THE CTLRS WILL GIVE A CLRNC TO THE MIL ACFT WHILE THEY ARE STILL IN THE RELEASED AIRSPACE. THIS IS CONTRARY TO ALL OTHER AIRSPACE OPS IN THE PAST AND IS AN UNSAFE PROC. PLTS MAY NOW ASSUME THAT ATC IS PROVIDING SEPARATION SVCS FROM OTHER FLTS. CTLRS ARE ASSIGNING ALTS AND RTES THAT MAY NOT BE STERILE OF OTHER ACFT. THE RESULT IS MIL FLTS THINKING THEY ARE ON AN ATC IFR CLRNC AND WILL BE SEPARATED FROM OTHER FLTS. THESE MIL FLTS MAY BE 50 OR MORE MI INSIDE MIL AIRSPACE. ZAN CTLRS ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT OTHER TFC IS OPERATING IN THE FLT PATHS OF PLANES THEY HAVE GIVEN A CLRNC TO. THIS UNSAFE PROC RESULTED IN A KC135 ALMOST HITTING AN E3 FLT INSIDE THE MIL AIRSPACE. THE E3 CALL SIGN X ASKED FOR A CLRNC OUT OF THE MIL AIRSPACE. I GAVE THE CLRNC TO THE ACFT AS REQUIRED BY FACILITY POLICY AND LOA. I GOT VERY BUSY WITH OTHER ACFT EXITING THE AIRSPACE IN DIFFERENT AREAS. I HEARD X BROADCAST TO ME THAT HE HAD AN RA AND WAS CLBING. I OBSERVED HIM CLBING OUT OF HIS ASSIGNED ALT TO AVOID HITTING THE OTHER ACFT. I WAS ABLE TO ASCERTAIN THAT THE OTHER ACFT WAS Y; A KC135; OPERATING INSIDE THE AIRSPACE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT CTLRS AT ZAN SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE IFR CLRNCS IN MOA'S WHERE THEY ARE NOT CTLING THE AIRSPACE.
