Turn on the "Troops Minister" .. and don't forget to set at least one Troop Transport to minister control, as this minister is of "individual" type.

The AI does a sufficient job on collecting the troops from the various planets .. but don't forget to check sometimes, or the ship will just sit somewhere with all cargo holds full and go nowhere anymore

Hope this helps !

PS: Seems to be a little bug with this minister, though - had a transport fill up to ~50%, and than it kept running for the nearest fueling station .. and never started going around again ?! (Maybe that's the cause the AI seldom use it's troops - the troops transports get stuck somewhere in the bureaucratic procedere of aquiring additional fuel )
