Military time is a method of timekeeping based on the 24 hour clock. It relies on a day that is divided into hours and minutes on a 24-hour cycle from midnight to midnight. Military time is commonly used in the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Pakistan, and Malaysia. The 24-hour time system is primarily used by military and emergency services in these countries, unlike the rest of the world. Civilian timekeeping in these countries primarily uses the 12-hour timekeeping system notated with A.M. Most other countries in the world use a variation of military time called 24-hour time for both civilian and military timekeeping.

In these fields, the use of military time can help to prevent confusion and errors that could have serious consequences, such as delays in transportation or miscommunication of medical orders.
