While ONI remains a major subordinate command under the [[UNSC Navy]], the CINCONI sits on the [[UNSC Security Council|Security Council]] with equal stature and privilege to their parent service's [[Chief of Naval Operations]].<ref name="HE1">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 1''</ref> Unlike their colleagues on the council, however, the CINCONI's role is inherently operational by nature. The CINCONI oversees the day-to-day operations of the command and deploys its assets. Under the CINCONI's command exists a microcosm of the UNSC's warfighting capability with its various direct action and covert special operations units, security forces, and [[warship]]s. Although ONI maintains numerous security councils and a number of checks and balances within the organization proper, the CINCONI still holds the most power within the Office of Naval Intelligence. | While ONI remains a major subordinate command under the [[UNSC Navy]], the CINCONI sits on the [[UNSC Security Council|Security Council]] with equal stature and privilege to their parent service's [[Chief of Naval Operations]].<ref name="HE1">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 1''</ref> Unlike their colleagues on the council, however, the CINCONI's role is inherently operational by nature.

The Office of Naval Intelligence takes full advantage of a level of independence no other major command in the UNSC is given. CINCONI's political charge under the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s former emergency government was greatly expanded from the pre-war era, and despite complete transfer to civilian control with the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], their power and influence still remains. The former intelligence gathering agency of the [[Colonial Administration Authority]], the [[Department of Colonial Security]], reports directly to the office of the CINCONI.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 199''</ref> | The Office of Naval Intelligence takes full advantage of a level of independence no other major command in the UNSC is given.
