DoD Form Text Sanitizer

Strips smart quotes & non-ASCII

Julian Date & Coordinate Converter

Three small utilities in one place: the Julian date (day of year) used on forms and logs, a coordinate converter between decimal degrees, DMS, MGRS and UTM, and a sanitizer that strips smart quotes and odd characters from text pasted into DoD forms.

Is the Julian date the same as the astronomical Julian Day?

No. On military forms "Julian date" means the day of the year (1–366), often written with the year, e.g. 2026-303. That is what this tool gives you.
