| Five US army staff on President Obama's trip to Colombia may have been involved in "inappropriate conduct" along with several Secret Service agents sent home on Friday, officials said.
US Southern Command said the five had been staying at the same hotel as the agents. The allegations are said to involve prostitutes.
The Secret Service agents have now been suspended.
Mr Obama is in the city of Cartagena for the Summit of the Americas.
The US Southern Command said that the five members had violated curfew and would be investigated.
The personnel are not permitted to have contact with anyone and will return to the US with the rest of the group after the summit, officials said.
