Narrative:
Tmu. It is tmu's responsibility to release restr areas. At approximately XB02; we had not received a coordination call from ft benning for the days R3002 airspace. On my own at XB02 I contacted range control; who said they had obtained a release at approximately XA15 from mr X. Knowing ZTL had not received such a call; we checked to see who released the airspace. No one in tmu or ZTL received a call. Ft benning; range control; mr Y coordinated with the csg sectors at A80 but at no time did mr Y call ZTL. I called our area 5 to obtain a release on the airspace. They advised someone was in it. I advised ft benning to cease fire and go cold until the area could get the aircraft out; or land -- not sure which one. This was accomplished; and at XB12 area 5 advised me 3002 a/B/C/D/east/F and MOA were released to ft benning. I advised mr Z and normal operations began. The stmc's were apprised of the situation throughout the event.
