Military Time Zone Codes
Miitary time zones are used worldwide for both military and civilian purposes. They represent each of the twenty four time zones in use around the world, including UTC Time which is represented by the Zulu Time Zone.
The current assignment of time zone names is based upon the NATO phonetic alphabet. This system has helped to eliminate some confusion which resulted in previous proposals. Each time zone name corresponds to a unique one character letter assigned to that time zone. However, because some letters such as "D anb B" or "M and N" could be easily confused in verbal communications, the time zone name itself is most often used. So in this example Delta would be used when referring to UTC + 4 rather than the letter "D."
The current assignment of codes is in use by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with some slight variations, and most military organizations.
