Check out the ArcGIS Military Analyst extension.

Coordinate Tool
The Coordinate tool supports Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and coordinate conversion. Coordinate conversion and point position entry in decimal degrees, degrees/minutes/seconds, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), and MGRS can be achieved using the Coordinate tool.

Conversion Tool
The Conversion Tool enables batch coordinate conversion, streamlining data preparation, and loading workflow. Batch conversions can use feature classes, geodatabases, and DBF tables.

You have to first download the Military Analyst extension first, and then active it from Customize > Extensions.  Additionally, you have to add the Military Analyst toolbox in ArcToolbox or access the toolbar from Customize > Toolbars.

Open ArcToolbox
Right click on the white area and click Add Toolbox...
Navigate to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes
Choose Military Analyst Tools.tbx
