Military time zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The military time zones are a standardized, uniform set of time zones for expressing time across different regions of the world, named after the NATO phonetic alphabet. The Zulu time zone (Z) is equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is often referred to as the military time zone. The military time zone system ensures clear communication in a concise manner, and avoids confusion when coordinating across time zones. As the ACP 121 standard,[1] the military time zone system is used by the armed forces for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and many nations in NATO.
