Narrative:

Military X, an spc, was refueling with military Y, an fgt on AR212. Military Y reported on frequency at FL190. No clearance had been issued to the aircraft through the tanker as procedure requires. Military Y was approximately 10 NM south of the northbound tanker when he was idented at FL190 west/O a clearance. While no loss of sep occurred, this situation could have been very dangerous had another aircraft been at FL190. The supervisor was notified and a deviation was filed.
