The ONI Security Force,[2] sometimes shortened as ONI Security, is the internal security arm of the Office of Naval Intelligence.[1]
Overview[edit]
Structure[edit]
The ONI Security Force is comprised mainly of recruited Army and Marine candidates. Their alignment is under the UNSC Navy, and jurisdictionally under the Naval Special Warfare group, which allows them some autonomy under ONI's management.[1]
Roles and responsibilities[edit]
Generally, ONI security officers are specialized in site protection and defense.[1] They are also tasked with escorting key ONI personnel in hostile zones. Rear Admiral Serin Osman was accompanied by four ONI security officers as she met with Veta Lopis and her Ferret Team following an attack by Dark Moon Enterprises operatives led by Ota Gallo in the UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A on October 14, 2553.[3]
The detachment on Ivanoff Station was used primarily for science team protection on Gamma Halo, in the rare case of emergency or attack. When the Ur-Didact attacked the station, ONI security engaged the Covenant forces attacking the station. The entire detachment was killed either by the Covenant or composed by the Ur-Didact.[1][4]
Personnel[edit]
Equipment[edit]
ONI security officers are generally equipped with the black Marine BDU, albeit with some additions.[1] Some employ the SECOPS armor.[2] ONI security personnel in military-oriented skyhook above Earth and Luna notably wore Air Assault armors.[5]
