Are merchant marines considered military personel?

No, Merchant Seaman are civilians, certain people who worked as Merchant Seaman during World War two were granted veterans status, but they were not military personnel, in fact, during World War two if a Merchant Seaman who was otherwise fit for military service, was not employed on a ship for more than thirty days they were drafted into the Army. Merchant Seaman who sailed during all other wars have not been granted veterans status. The term Merchant Marine refers to an industry, just like the terms commercial airlines, or railroads refer to industries. The fact that the Government contracts with private companies to move military cargo does not not make merchant seaman military personnel. Any civilian in a war zone is subject to the UCMJ, whether a reporter for NBC news, a Merchant Seaman, or a contractor. if more information go to the MARAD page Military to Mariners what the Merchant Marine and What it is not.
