Protocol Tuesday: Do I Use Military Time on a Military Invitation?

Dear Robert,

My family is hosting a commissioning of my brother who is becoming a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. Since he's entering the world of military time and 'twenty-four hundred hours" should we use military time on the invitation?

Dear Jessica,

In the US Army's Protocol Guide they don't use 1400 hours They use at two o'clock See below:
