Pham Xuan Thanh Dec 31, 2012:
Difference between Serviceman and Personnel (in collectively nature or not):

“ex 20 человек” the context is about counting the number common soldiers/servicemen.

Serviceman:
who serves in the armed forces; a member of a military force

Military personnel:
soldiers collectively
