Their last known location was the General Silvestras Žukauskas training ground.
Following an extensive search involving helicopters and rescue teams, their bodies were discovered.
The incident raises serious questions about operational safety during high-risk military drills near tense geopolitical zones.
An investigation is underway as NATO allies assess the circumstances behind this tragic loss of American servicemen.
