Last year, we had to produce a function to display a UTM grid on top of a map.
It turned out a UTM grid is actually a MGRS grid (UTM being the projection
only). In doing this grid, we used the following manual:

        The Defense Mapping Agency Technical Manual 8358.1
        Datums, Ellipsoids, Grids, and Grid Reference Systems

This document is dated 20 September 1990. It can be ordered by writing to

        Defense Mapping Agency
        Plans and Requirements Directorate
        8613 Lee Highway
        Fairfax, VA 22031-2137
        USA

Hope this will help you...
