Expeditionary force disappeared
I sent 22 divisions (an entire army minus 2 divisions) to a country of the same faction to help them out. Typically you are supposed to get a notification at the top of the screen notifying you they're on their way and when they will arrive, however, this time I did not get it. When I click send expeditionary force again, it clearly tells me I have already sent 22 divisions, but I can't see them on the map nor the notification on top. They're just gone and I have no idea what happened to them.

Volunteers and expeditionary forces.

Volunteers; when you sent army to your allies, then you want still control them, when they arrived.

Expeditionary Forces; when you sent army to your allies, then you give your allies control them, when they arrived.

Okay, I didn't know, thanks. But it does not explain why they disappeared

They don't disappear, they appear as your's allied troops.
Is like you get Expeditionary Forces, then you can control them.

Ok, I think we need a definition of disappeared.

When you send an expedition force you are giving the other player control over the units and it is no longer yours. It is basically the reverse of them annoying units your puppets send you. So it will disappear from your list of units, but should still show in expeditions tab.

The other disappeared is the unit is completely gone because the AI did something stupid with it and it got wiped out or overrun, or it got a really bad deployment.

Yeah what a waste of tank divisions.

By disappeared I mean they do not show up on the map at all. The divisions are physically not present inside the country I sent them to.

Look at my screenshot.
I sent my volunteers to JAPAN.
They landed in SINGAPORE.
I would look around the map some.

Not even sure why you are looking because you cannot control them.

Lmfao that screenshot is hilarious but sad. I'm looking for them just to confirm that they are where I'd like them to be.

I'm sorry for your loss. I suppose sending expeditionary forces is pointless. Lesson learned the hard way I guess

Yeah I never did the expedition thing because honestly it makes zero sense. You can only send expeditions to allies in a war and you give the AI control of them, meaning the AI can do stupid @#$% with them. Seems better to just send them yourself and keep control of them.
