If that is its formal name, why don't we call it that?--[[User:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] 20:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

:Well, that name has only been mentioned once. It seems to be implied that it's the formal name, but the general populace and military personnel (high-ranking or not) refer to it as "ONI". --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] <sup>[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]</sub> 16:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

::Maybe ONI is only part of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division, and we've only heard that name once because of the Navy-bias that seems to exist in Halo.

:::The Fall of Reach mentions [[Michael Stanforth]] being the head of "Section Three" of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division. It could indeed be referring to another "Section Three", as ONI Section Three's executive officer has never been named, but I'm not entirely sure. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] <sup>[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]</sub> 20:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

::::Perhaps ONI is a section of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division (or at least subordinate to it, given that it's part of the Navy), and the UNSCMID has numbered sections, similar to the British practice of MI5 and MI6 (MI stands for Military Intelligence).--[[User:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] 22:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised we do not put more information about them in the article.  They are probably the biggest part of ONI, think of all the things they've done.  They're the ones who've gathered the information about the Covenant, they are the ones who scavenged the data found on Installation 04, they found Installation 03they were even the ones who spoke with Chakas on Installation 07!  We should put information on what they've done, and that they've discovered Installation 03, etc. Vegerot goes RAWR!  [[User:Vegerot|<span style="color:midnightblue; font-weight:bold">Vegerot</span>]] ([[User talk:Vegerot|<span style="color:grey">talk</span>]])  19:46, 14 January 2012 (EST)!
Is the ONI the "bad guys" after the Covenant and the Flood? In ''The Mona Lisa'', John Smith is an ONI officer who tested the Flood infection on human prisoners, and he obviously worked against Lopez and her squad. In ''Glasslands'', ONI attempts to help a group of Elites to start an insurrection against Thel 'Vadam, the very Elite who symbolizes the alliance between the humans and the Sangheili, which helped the humans defeat the Covenant Empire. And to some extent, they are [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompleteMonster Complete Monsters], abducting children from their parents, training them and then letting the majority of them to die. Sure, there are some good ONI characters: Veronica Dare, Catherine Halsey, Connor Brien... but then there's also James Ackerson, Aaron Gibson, John Smith, etc.

::Not even talking about Primordium, they've done so many other things as well. Which is why I say they're the biggest part of ONI.

== ONI HQ ==
The way the ONI gives out propaganda can be considered immoral. Look at the [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|ONI Directive 930]]. Numerous Spartans sacrificed themselves, for nothing. Issac-039 and Vinh-030 sacrificed themselves to save Dr Halsey and other Spartans, but they wouldn't get any recognition, because they are MIA. People assumed they just gone missing. No one would know they ''died'' to save Halsey. Just some food for thoughts. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|When I played Halo: CE]], [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|we didn't have any fancy-shmancy armor abilities...]])</sub> 03:01, 12 September 2011 (EDT)


Where is the HQ of ONI on earth?  Is it at the present day one in DC? I think that's where the present day one is. {{Unsigned|98.92.214.22}}
:I'm guessing it's at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]], considering that's where CINCONI Margaret Parangosky's office was.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 20:19, 8 February 2013 (EST)

In Ghosts of Onyx both Rear Admiral [[Ned Rich]] and Captain [[Aaron Gibson]] appear. They are said to be the directors of ONI Section Three's Covert Operations and Black Operations Divisions, respectively. These divisions go completely unmentioned throughout the rest of canon, at least as far as I've seen. Do these positions have any connection the the Beta-5 and Delta-6 Divisions within ONI?
 
Also, in the Halo 2 Anniversary Terminal of Locke's target profile on Thel Vadamee, he mentions the "Office of Retrieval and Acquisitions". I think this could qualify as the unit that he worked under besides just ONI Section Three. [[User:Kcin117|Kcin117]] ([[User talk:Kcin117|talk]]) 16:47, 8 July 2018 (EDT)
