Narrative:

Olk (wolf lake) radar controller was working busy traffic with an unqualified d-side. A 'sting' flight of F16's left fwa approach climbing to FL180 en route to hilltop MOA. The 'sting' route of flight traversed bearz sector arrival corridor without a pointout. The bearz controller descended 2 ord arrival flts to 16000 ft from FL240. Upon noticing the target climbing to FL180, the bearz controller stopped the ord arrs at FL190. 1 aircraft had to climb from 18300 ft back to FL190. Loss of separation and airspace violation were not processed by FAA supervisor. The 'sting' flight was non-standard formation. Approximately separation: 300 ft and 4 mi, instead of 1000 ft and 6 mi.
