I just annexed Austria and the next thing I know all my motorized and mechanized troops went back into the force pool (for redeployment or refit?). Anyway, I'm not sure how this happened.
Yeah same thing happened to me too. I'm not sure how it happens, but it doesn't happen all the time, only in certain conditions. Try reporting to the bugfix forum
If you annexed them after fighting them any troops still fighting or maybe with retreating enemy troops in the same prov go back to the force pool. I belives paradox are looking at it.
I restarted a game once because I thought I had lost a large army. The next time it happened (I think it is when they are still fighting) it was onyl a few divisions so I didn't worry about it and then found them in the force pool. I could've kicked myself for not saving the other game.
Just make sure after you crush the opposition, be sure to retreat the troops out of the coutry you are about to annex. Presto! No more disappearing troops.
I have noticed that troops end back to forcebool in four case
1) Province has retreating enemies.
2) Annexing triggers randomly? partisans and troops in those province go back to forcebool.
3) your own troops that are retreating.
4) Your troops that are in your allies land that were conquored by annexed nation just before annexing
