I agree.

It's the easiest thing in the world to approve. Costs nothing.

HR departments are there in an advisory capacity only in my view.
As an ex-HR Manager the advice I'd be giving the manager in this situation would probably be something like "The policy doesn't allow this and therefore it can't be entered into the system. However, I will never know if Mr Smith doesn't turn up in the office for 3 days. As his manager you might want to have an off-the-record discussion with Mr Smith about that."

Strange... being there for 3 weeks presumably means they are giving up 8 days in weekends for this trip as I would be betting on the company making them travel on weekends and not during the week.

If I was the employee I would be asking what happens to my 8 days as I would no doubt be working every day out there as its only a short stint and weekends/evenings are usually taken up digesting what happened during the day, etc.

Very strange company to do that.

Well, I missed just about all that being being the case, just like I must have missed where it said that the employee is being forced to work for this employer.

Don't like it, do something else.

What goes around comes around. I'd not be helping them out in the future, why would you?
