What time does 0400 hours convert to in standard time?

The time 0400 hours in military time directly translates to 4:00 AM in standard time. In the 24-hour clock system, the first two digits represent the hour, while the last two represent the minutes. Since 0400 indicates that it is four hours after midnight, it corresponds to 4:00 AM on a 12-hour clock. This understanding of the conversion from military time to standard time is essential for clear communication and scheduling, particularly in military and operational contexts.
