History
The Alternate Reality Monitoring and Operational Response (A.R.M.O.R.) agency was an organization that operated to defend the Earth against threats in the Multiverse. (Marvel Zombies 3 v1 #1)
It was later placed under the oversight of Director Norman Osborn after he was appointed the head of H.A.M.M.E.R.. They came to detect a hostile trans-reality convergence into the Earth-616 continuum with this coming from Earth-8809. An A.R.M.O.R. intercept team were sent to deal about the encounter with this being Llyra who arrived in New York City. The team on site were all defeated as their target made her way to Avengers Tower thus forcing Director Little Sky to call in a specialist to deal with the threat leading to She-Hulk arriving on the scene. (All-New Savage She-Hulk v1 #1)
Afterwards, A.R.M.O.R. came to detect an unlicensed Einstein-Rosen bridge in New Brunswick where Bro-Man had arrived only to find him killed. Two agents were then sent to track down Slapstick at his home in Plainfield. Once there, they found that he and Quasimodo were building an illegal portal leading to them being taken into custody and brought to the Hollow. (Slapstick v2 #2)
Overview
Rumors spoke of it as an organization that was so top secret that the likes of its sister agencies S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. were more well known to the public. It operated pursuant to United Nations Security Council Invisible Resolution 121 allowed A.R.M.O.R. to respond first to all incidences of trans-reality conflict. They were meant to guard against outside contamination by extra-dimensional agents and disruptions to the timestream. (Marvel Zombies 3 v1 #1) The Zemu Accords gave them authority to detain indefinitely those deemed a threat to inter-dimensional security. (Slapstick v2 #2)
One armament in their arsenal was the Fujikawa 7KJ that were coaxial coil accelerators with these gauss guns using an electromagnetic core. (All-New Savage She-Hulk v1 #1)
Their base of operations was a facility that was known as The Hollow that was a completely self-sufficient bunker sunk many miles underground in a top-secret location accessible only by teleportation. (Marvel Zombies 3 v1 #1)

And this is the the alter-reality monitoring and operational response agency, and yes you guess it, it's acronym is A.R.M.O.R. So now we have SWORD, SHIELD and ARMOR."
