12:15 am military time is used to denote the time of day just after midnight. It is the beginning of the new day, so it is considered to be 0000 hours or "zero hundred hours" in military parlance. Military time was created by the Armed Forces to help streamline operations by providing a unified and straightforward way of communicating about times that could possibly vary from place to place.
Military time is not as widely used in everyday life as standard (regular) time, also known as civilian or 24-hour clock time. But understanding how it works is important when working with pilots, sailors, ground troops, or any other members of the military (or sometimes even medical personnel).
In military time, all hours are represented by two digits ranging from 00 (which means midnight) to 23 (which means 11 pm). 12:15 am military time is one way of saying 0015 hours. The hour is two digits and the minutes are two digits, with no punctuation symbols between them.
It's also important to note that when converting dates from standard to military time and vice versa, you have to take into account daylight saving rules (if applicable) since each has a different way of calculating it and changing back and forth between them accordingly.
