Military time is a 24‑hour clock format that avoids AM/PM confusion.
It’s commonly used in travel, logistics, healthcare, and any place where precision matters.
Quick takeaway
Use timezone names (ET/CT/MT/PT or the IANA form like America/Los_Angeles) and confirm with a live clock. This prevents mistakes when daylight saving rules change.
