If you look closely at those ground units like the Americal Division you'll notice that they have a yellow (R) after their unit names in the Ground Unit Information Screen. That means that they are currently attached to a restricted HQ dedicated to the defense of New Caledonia (SoPacRear). Restricted units represent units that have designated solely for certain defensive or occupation purposes. You need to wait until you accumulate enough political points to attach them to an unrestricted HQ for offensive purposes. They can't be loaded onto ships until then. Restricted units with a white (R) can never be bought out.
The restricted units rules are basically there to put some limits on players using units ahistorically in a gamey fashion without consideration for certain political factors. (home defense, rear area garrisons, etc.) It also keeps Japan from transferring it's large Chinese garrison around the Pacific too freely.
