What does 1400hrs convert to in standard time?

To convert 1400 hours from military time (also known as 24-hour clock) to standard time (12-hour clock), consider that the first two digits represent the hour and the last two digits represent the minutes. In this case, 1400 hours can be broken down as follows:

• The hour, 14, indicates 2 PM in standard time because 14 - 12 = 2.

• The minutes are 00, indicating the start of the hour.

Thus, 1400 hours in military time translates directly to 2:00 PM in standard time. This conversion is a common method used to avoid confusion between AM and PM times and is particularly important in fields such as dispatching, where precise timing is critical.
