Date, Time, Group (DTG)

Most of ARTIC's forms require a DTG which is a ADF format to provide all necessary information. A DTG usually looks like this: 111800MAY25K. This may look confusing, so let's break it down: Date: 11 Time: 1800 (Always in 24hr time) Group: MAY25K Now let's make sense of it. Date is quite simply the current date or date required to be received shown as "11" or 11th. Time, which is always displayed in 24-hour time, is again either the current time or the time required to receive, shown as "1800" or 6 pm in 12-hour time. Group, one of the most confusing, but the group requires Month, Year, Timezone. In this example, it is displayed as "MAY25K" letting us know this is in May 2025, but what is "K"? K is the delegated timezone instead of saying GMT +10 we simply use "K" or Kilo we use this based on our location which we are providing the DTG. If you're not sure of your timezone in military format you can reference the picture. Hopefully you now understand DTG.
