One of them was in critical condition, a statement from the Dutch Defence Ministry said.
The men were in the state of Indiana for training, it said, adding that local police were investigating the incident. No arrests have been made.

"Right now the information we're willing to disclose is that it was not something that occurred inside the hotel," the officer told the news channel. "It was a previous altercation we believe at another location. It did not happen inside the Hampton, the actual occurrence was outside."
Asked who the commandos were training with and whether any US personnel were involved, a Pentagon spokesperson referred questions to local civilian authorities, adding the situation remains under investigation. — Reuters
