Usually, I replace my shock troops (i.e. Heavy Assault, Marines and Assault Infantry) with Mobile Infantry and Garrison units, because to police a conquered population, only the defense factor of a unit counts, and a) Assault Infantry has less defense than attack and b) my attack troops are too valuable to be used for garrison duty when they could go out and conquer _more_ real estate.

So the standard thing to do after forcing surrender is moving all the troops to the new colony?

Troops only count for the population they are at, regardless if they are on the same body.

Check the police strength requirement of the population.

I have conquered my first NPR home planet (1.3 billion population! 144 million liters of fuel captured!). The troops I used to conquer that population are still in the colony made when I dropped them onto the planet.  Do I need to move them to my newly conquered colony in order to start pacifying that population (ie, moving them from conquered to imperial status)? Or does it not matter where they are once the population surrenders?
