Most world military forces do not have any effect for time zones, as they use what is often referred to as Zulu time (which is the same as what is now UTC, but historically was GMT) outside of their local area. Therefore, if an operation is happening outside of a local area (under the same time zone), the tradition is to convert it to Z (Zulu) time, and activate it at the appropriate time.

Feel free to run a "Google" for terms that you do not understand above.

What is the military time for 3pm?

1500 hours.The military use the 24 hour clock, and if you would like to learn more about this, see the Web Link 'Military Time' to the left.Sometimes things that span time zones will be designated by "Zulu Time." This is the time at the prime meridian, or Greenwich, England. If you are on the East Coast, 1500 Zulu would be 11 AM, but on the West Coast it would be 8 AM. (or noon and 9 AM on daylight savings time).Actually, the use of the 24 hour clock and designating Zulu time removes any chance of mis-understanding the time for military operations. Given the ability to travel across half a dozen time zones in high speed jets, it is critical that people aren't off by an hour, or even 12 hours!
