what is 0500 military time in regular time?

Military time, also known as 24-hour time, is a concise way of expressing the time of day. Unlike traditional 12-hour "am/pm" notation, military time uses a 24-hour clock to denote the time of day. The hours are counted from 0 to 23; therefore one hour equals 100 minutes, and one minute is 60 seconds. For example, 5:00pm in 12-hour notation would be 1700 in military time. So, 0500 military time would be 5:00am in the traditional 12-hour clock system.

The use of the 24-hour format can be advantageous for coordination when people from different parts of the world need to communicate precisely for a shared project or event. For example, when making international flight plans or across continents plans for a project launch ceremony at noon Brazil Time (16:00 UTC), one might indicate 14:00 PST (21:00 UTC) as 1700 military time. This universal format allows communication partners from different parts of the globe to understand each other without confusion about daylight savings adjustments or other local variables impacting their agreed upon schedule or timeline.

The use of military time has become commonplace in banking and transportation industries as well as emergency services like police and fire departments. In addition to coordinating posts and deployments such as those that occur during times of war with respect to personnel relocations, unit reorganizations and weaponry distributions; senior officers on duty and operatives must maintain communication with each other by understanding this simple 24-hour format since they will interface with international partners operating around the clock who may easily confuse other types of notations such as regular "am/pm" or another model altogether like BST (British Summer Time).
