Military technology company ARMA Global Inc. will lay off 99 employees at its site in Fayetteville.

The layoffs come as ARMA Global will lose its contract with the United States government to operate here on March 31. The company has been operating at Fort Bragg, the nation's largest military installation.

ARMA Global provides services in information technology for military sites in the U.S. Its focus is improving the efficiency and capability of technology used by soldiers during missions across the globe.

The company is a subsidiary of General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company and one of the largest defense contractors in the world. It also has locations in Tampa and Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

The announcement came in accordance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires companies like ARMA Global to give a 60-day notice of mass layoffs.

The company sent the notification in a letter to the N.C. Department of Commerce, which is responsible for forming and deploying a rapid response team to assist workers facing impending layoffs. These rapid response teams help ease the transition for affected workers and introduce them to other potential job opportunities.

The company also provided the notice to its impacted employees.
