Yes, they are, and have been since NATO was founded. From 1966-2009 they did not participated in the Integrated Military Command Structure, despite remaining fully in the alliance.

They still don't participate in the Nuclear Planning Council, and their troops are not put under permanent UN command in peacetime.

This should be “NATO command” not “UN command”.
