What 0200 means
0200 is 2:00 AM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 02 is the hour and the 00 is the minutes. The hour is below 12, so it is a morning time and the hour does not change — the leading zero is just padding to keep every time four digits long.
Two in the morning. US daylight saving changes are scheduled here, which is why clocks jump straight from 0200 to 0300 in March.
Saying 0200 out loud
You say “zero two hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 0230 you would say “zero two thirty hours” instead, and at 0205 it becomes “zero two oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
