what is 2015 military time?

2015 military time, also known as 24-hour clock time, is a way to measure and record time in a uniform format used by the U.S. military and armies throughout the world. This standardized system divides the day into 24 hours, beginning at midnight, 00:00, and going through midnight again at 24:00. Each hour of the clock is denoted by two digits, with a colon separating the minutes, so for example a time at 10:30 a.m. would be 10:30 in traditional time, but 1030 in military time.

Unlike the traditional time format, 2015 military time adds an 'hour indicator', which is an hour added to the date in order to make the time easier to read and follow. Thus, a time of 0800 would actually read 8:00, at 8 a.m., and a time of 1700 would actually be 17:00, at 5 p.m. Some time charts break the day down into 0200, 0600, 1000, 1400, 1800, and 2200, noting the hour with two digits and the minute with two digits, such as 0201 (02:01) or 1615 (16:15). This is to make it easier to distinguish between day and night times when working in a 24-hour clock system.

An advantage to 2015 military time is that it's an easy and organized way to record precise times and information in an efficient manner. It's especially useful for those working with digital systems, such as military personnel, who must accurately record and track times quickly. It also allows for precise coordination between military units, as they can refer to each other with two easy numbers. With 24-hour military time, there's no need to explain AM or PM.

Military time offers some degree of universal understanding and uniformity, as all services, regardless of country, will refer to the same universal time chart. However, many countries outside the US still use a traditional time system.
