Does civilian ATC sometimes work a hot MOA? How/why/when ?

Hi Steven, are your answers specific to the Falls 1 MOA, or true for
MOAs in general? I thought ATC sometimes worked the military traffic
inside the MOA. Is that never true? Thanks.



My answers apply to Falls 1 and the nearby Volk MOAs.

I'm obviously no expert, or I wouldn't have asked the question, but...

I seem to remember from a presentation by a military guy at a civilian fly-in at
Pope AFB (pre-9/11, obviously) that MOAs are not a cookie cutter arrangement,
there is a sort of contract between the military and civilian authorites on an
MOA by MOA basis, kind of like the letters of agreement among civilian ATCs.
Sometimes the military ATC will work the civilian traffic and provide separation
in the MOA and sometimes the separation service is delegated to the civilian
ATC, and sometimes no separation is provided. Perhaps someone can confirm or
refute my recollection.
