The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) [1] is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on Earth. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention.
Under the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction CJCSI 3900.01C dated 30 June 2007, GARS was adopted for use by the US DoD as "the “area-centric” counterpart to the “point-centric” MGRS". It uses the WGS 1984 Datum and is based on lines of longitude (LONG) and latitude (LAT). It is intended to provide an integrated common ...
Geographic coordinate conversion has applications in cartography, surveying, navigation and geographic information systems. In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [1]
Referenced by this converter, where the coordinates match the lat/lng to MGRS conversion done by a different converter. This book also references it, but I'm not buying the book to look at the books reference. I'm not going to edit the actual article without a better reference than a google books link to a book whose sources I can't check.
Online mapping and coordinate conversion sites: USNGapp.org and FindMeSAR.com (mobile applications that give the user's current coordinates, e.g., for relay on calls for help) GISsurfer (a general purpose web map with a USNG overlay and more) GISsurfer: USNG and MGRS Coordinates (documentation, including "Why are USNG coordinates important?")
For example, in the Military Grid Reference System, the above coordinate is in grid 11U (representing UTM Zone 11 5xxxxxx mN), and grid cell NS within that (representing the second digit 5xxxxxmE x6xxxxxm N), and as many remaining digits as are needed are reported, yielding an MGRS grid reference of 11U NS 949 361 (or 11U NS 9493 3617 or 11U NS ...

The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is a geocode, a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth.GEOREF is essentially based on the geographic system of latitude and longitude, but using a simpler and more flexible notation.
