The Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence (CINCONI) is the leading flag officer of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) who serves as the command's administrative and operational director.[1]
Background
While ONI remains a major subordinate command under the UNSC Navy, CINCONI sits on the Security Council with equal stature and privilege to their parent service's Chief of Naval Operations.[2] Unlike their colleagues on the council, however, CINCONI's role is inherently operational by nature. CINCONI oversees the day-to-day operations of the command and deploys its assets. Under 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 warships.
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 CINCONI.[3]
CINCONI's office is located in Core 5, a section of HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 in Sydney, Australia on Earth.[4]
History
Admiral Margaret Parangosky served as CINCONI throughout the Insurrection, the Human-Covenant War, and into the post-war era.[1] By 2557 she had been succeeded by her protégé, Admiral Serin Osman, a former Spartan-II candidate and field agent.[2]
