If you cast it on a zombie you control, you extend that control for 24 hrs. In my world, you can cast Animate Dead on a zombie that no one controls to assert control over it.

How many animate deads can you summon at once?
Animate Dead normally summons based on your Spell Level. The total number of creatures is 1 + (2x [Spell Level-3]). So, thanks to this ability, you get the effect of 2 level 3 Animate Deads at once. That’s value! As you level up, this “+1 Body” will be a little bit less valuable, since Animate Dead becomes a bit more about reasserting control.
When to use animate dead in Last Watch?
You just finished a Long Rest, so now you need to use Animate Dead to assert control over your undead. During 1 hour of the last watch, use a Short Rest. This lets you use Arcane Recovery to start with some of those spell slots back.
