Scheduled time for military operation? 00:00 (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

zero hour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scheduled time' is the definition.
'zero hour' can be an answer for 'time' (zero hour is a kind of time). I am not certain of the 'scheduled' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zero hour that I've seen before include "Start time" , "Time to initiate a military operation" , "Exact time for launch of military action" , "when one's carried out" , "when operation is due to start" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
