The United States military uses the DD MM YYYY format for standard military correspondence. The common month-day-year format is used for correspondence with civilians.
Military time is based on a 24-hour clock, which is why the numbers on the clock go from 00 to 23. The United States, however, uses the 12-hour clock, which is why the numbers do not go past 12, and the “a.m.” and “p.m.” must be used.
How do Marines write dates?
The date is typed in what is called standard letter format. Follow a day-month-year order without punctuation.
