ARC troopers are often sent on solo missions, right? Do you happen to know anything about these missions? Because I often wonder what exactly they’re up to and I didn’t find any comics etc where they talk about a typical ARC trooper mission or something…

I wouldn’t
say often. ARC troopers were definitely capable of carrying out solo missions but
such missions are not a common part of their assignments. The thing is, they
technically never went completely alone because there was always a team behind
them (the way military usually works).

The command
structure of the Grand Army was broken down into ten levels, ranging from
individual squads up to the Commander in Chief, the Supreme Chancellor. The
Order of Battle includes only infantry units, not clones who supported those
units, high-ranking clones in command roles, or the Jedi generals who took
charge of different units. (Total numbers are as of Sifo-Dyas’s initial order):

• Squad (9
  troopers): The smallest unit in the Grand Army is the squad, led by a clone
  sergeant.
• Platoon (36
  troopers): A platoon consists of four squads, led by a clone lieutenant.
• Company
  (144 troopers plus support personnel): A comany consists of four platoons,
  led by a clone captain.
• Battalion
  (576 troopers plus support personnel): A battalion consists of four companies,
  led by a clone battalion commander.
• Regiment
  (2,304 troopers plus support personnel): A regiment consists of four
  battalions, led by a clone regimental commander and a Jedi commander, often a
  Padawan serving a Jedi general.
• Brigade
  (9,216 troopers plus support personnel): A brigade consists of four regiments,
  led by a clone senior commander and a Jedi general. Some brigades were called
  “legions.”
• Corps
  (36,864 troopers plus support personnel): A corps consists of four brigades,
  led by a clone marshal commander and a Jedi general.
• Sector Army
  (147,456 troopers plus support personnel): A Sector Army consists of four
  corps, commanded by a highly experienced Jedi general.
• Systems
  Army (294,912 troopers plus support personnel): A Systems Army consists of two Sector
  Armies, commanded by a Jedi general, a role filled at this level by members of
  the Jedi High Council.
• Grand Army
  (3,000,000+ troopers plus support personnel): The Grand Army as originally
  constituted consisted of all ten Systems Armies, led by Supreme Chancellor
  Palpatine as Commander in Chief. [

The GAR
wasn’t structured in a way that allowed one man operations. The work that required
a true solo mission (like espionage) was usually left to the Jedi and non-clone
operatives.A typical ARC trooper’s mission was what we saw in TCW: team work.
