Narrative:
2 T45's were performing a PAR approach into runway 19R at nmm. The aircraft were cleared to 1/2 mi final by the navy gca controller, through our LOA. At 1/2 mi final, the gca controller instructed the aircraft to perform missed approach procedures (1/2 mi final, turn right heading 270 degrees, climb and maintain 2000 ft. The aircraft were flying practice approachs.) the pilot read back the clearance, but continued to the runway and did a low approach over the runway. This created an airspace violation with the other sector within our facility. The FAA failed to file a report, because they claim the navy gca is responsible to file the report. However, the FAA is the IFR jurisdictional authority/authorized, and should've filed the pilot deviation. The LOA auths the gca to issue clrncs for the FAA. The clearance that was violated was an FAA clearance, not a navy clearance. Regardless, the pilot deviated from an IFR ATC clearance.

Title: APCH CTLR AT NMM CLAIMS A FLT OF 2 NAVY T45 TRAINERS DID NOT FOLLOW THE PRESCRIBED MISSED APCH PROC WHEN COMPLETING A GCA TO NMM ARPT.
Narrative: 2 T45'S WERE PERFORMING A PAR APCH INTO RWY 19R AT NMM. THE ACFT WERE CLRED TO 1/2 MI FINAL BY THE NAVY GCA CTLR, THROUGH OUR LOA. AT 1/2 MI FINAL, THE GCA CTLR INSTRUCTED THE ACFT TO PERFORM MISSED APCH PROCS (1/2 MI FINAL, TURN R HDG 270 DEGS, CLB AND MAINTAIN 2000 FT. THE ACFT WERE FLYING PRACTICE APCHS.) THE PLT READ BACK THE CLRNC, BUT CONTINUED TO THE RWY AND DID A LOW APCH OVER THE RWY. THIS CREATED AN AIRSPACE VIOLATION WITH THE OTHER SECTOR WITHIN OUR FACILITY. THE FAA FAILED TO FILE A RPT, BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE NAVY GCA IS RESPONSIBLE TO FILE THE RPT. HOWEVER, THE FAA IS THE IFR JURISDICTIONAL AUTH, AND SHOULD'VE FILED THE PLTDEV. THE LOA AUTHS THE GCA TO ISSUE CLRNCS FOR THE FAA. THE CLRNC THAT WAS VIOLATED WAS AN FAA CLRNC, NOT A NAVY CLRNC. REGARDLESS, THE PLT DEVIATED FROM AN IFR ATC CLRNC.
