I thought the rest of the world used the dd-mm-yyyy format for date like
the US Military and not the ISO yyyy-mm-dd but uses the ISO 24-hour clock to
avoid misunderstanding.
. The US Military is moving to the ISO date format (yyyy-mm-dd) in it's
records systems. For obvious reasons, the NOAA Weather Archives in Ashville,
NC have used the yyyymmdd date format since the late 1800s when the Hollerith
punched card was invented.

Yes, and also in most foreign countries universally for everything.
(They of course use the ISO format, not the US military in strict sense.)

The time format in your attachment uses the term "military" time.
Although the US military uses the 24-hour clock, it is universally used by many
others such as aviation, weather, and maritime among others.

While at these repeated sendings, I am attaching again the method for
setting up the Windows PC for the ISO date and time display.
Again, comments concerning Vista and/or Apple would be appreciated.
