The US Military uses a 24 hour clock to avoid confusion. When times are given using the 12 hour clock, it is necessary to also give AM or PM to designate before or after noon. With the 24 hour clock it is not necessary.

The military uses a different time system, known as the military or Zulu time, for standardized communication and coordination across different time zones. This allows for precise synchronization of operations and avoids confusion caused by varying local times. It helps ensure that vital tasks can be executed effectively and efficiently regardless of geographical location.

Why do most health care facilities use military time rather than Greenwich time?
You're taking two entirely different things and implying they're the same - they are not. "Military time" is not a time zone - the military uses the time zone of the area of operations which they are active in. It is just a manner of displaying time, and is not one exclusive to the military - the term "military time" simply means that the use of the 24 hour clock is distinct, namely in a country which traditionally uses the 12 hour clock. Greenwich mean time is an actual time zone, and it's a bit pointless for medical facilities to use it when they're in an entirely different time zone.
