About Military Time

Military time uses the 24-hour clock format where hours run from 00 to 23. This avoids the ambiguity of AM/PM designations. It is used by the military, aviation, emergency services, hospitals, and most countries outside North America.

To convert from 12-hour to 24-hour: AM hours stay the same (except 12 AM becomes 00), and PM hours add 12 (except 12 PM stays 12). To convert back, subtract 12 from hours 13-23 and add PM.
