It is understood they were mugged in separate incidents near a hotel in the capital city of Noumea last night.
A spokesman for the NZ Defence Force says the victims - who were part of the crew on the HMNZS Canterbury, in Noumea at the moment - suffered injuries necessitating medical treatment.
They are subject to further medical assessments.
As a precautionary measure, the Commanding Officer of Canterbury has cancelled hotel leave for all crew members and set a 6pm curfew for the rest of the ship's visit.
Canterbury is scheduled to leave Noumea on May 29.''
