Narrative:
On or about dec/thu/01, I was working west radar combined with east radar. I had a handoff assisting me. An H/KC35 was handed off to fbk gca on right traffic, parallel runway 24, heading 120 degrees. Subsequently, gca vectored the aircraft through final and reinstated it a left downwind. Before I noticed this, gca had penetrated the spruce MOA boundary, which was active at that time. I immediately contacted gca to initiate corrective action. Immediately after this, I instructed my handoff to notify the supervisor that an operational deviation had most likely occurred.

Title: FAI CTLR ALERTS FBK MILFAC CTLR OF UNCOORD AIRSPACE VIOLATION.
Narrative: ON OR ABOUT DEC/THU/01, I WAS WORKING W RADAR COMBINED WITH E RADAR. I HAD A HDOF ASSISTING ME. AN H/KC35 WAS HANDED OFF TO FBK GCA ON R TFC, PARALLEL RWY 24, HDG 120 DEGS. SUBSEQUENTLY, GCA VECTORED THE ACFT THROUGH FINAL AND REINSTATED IT A L DOWNWIND. BEFORE I NOTICED THIS, GCA HAD PENETRATED THE SPRUCE MOA BOUNDARY, WHICH WAS ACTIVE AT THAT TIME. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED GCA TO INITIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS, I INSTRUCTED MY HDOF TO NOTIFY THE SUPVR THAT AN OPDEV HAD MOST LIKELY OCCURRED.
