Get ready to “spring” forward this weekend.
Starting 3 a.m. Sunday, European time moves one hour ahead, meaning that time here will finally catch up with the U.S.
With the new start and ending dates for daylight-saving time in the United States, European military communities had been out of step with the States since March 11, when U.S. residents moved their clocks forward in compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
The act increases the length of DST by about one month and will be in effect for 238 days, or about 65 percent of the year.
The U.S. time shift had no effect upon military missions, according to the USAREUR Operations Section. Operations orders and mission plans worldwide are based upon Greenwich Mean Time, known as “Zulu” time on official documents.
