Reveille is most often associated with the military; it is chiefly used to wake military personnel at sunrise. In modern times the US military plays (or sounds) Reveille at 6:00 am. The actual song is more or less traditional rather than useful in modern times. For example, on most US military bases, the headquarters staff will sound Reveille along with a cannon shot as the American flag is raised in the morning. All military personnel upon hearing the music on loudspeakers throughout the base will "face the music," as it were, and render a hand salute.

In Indian Army the Reveille is sounded at 6am (or sun rise), and the regimental colours are hoisted. The P.T (Physical Training parade) also starts immediately, so that means that soldiers for all practical reasons would have to get up much before that.
