The Office of Naval Intelligence is responsible for UNSC [[Wikipedia:signals intelligence|signals intelligence]] (SIGINT), [[Wikipedia:Human intelligence (intelligence gathering)|human intelligence]] (HUMINT), counter-espionage, [[propaganda]], and top-secret research and development programs. The agency mostly operates independently of other UNSC branches, and at times it contravenes the law and UNSC protocol to complete top-secret missions. ONI's [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|Commander-in-Chief]] (CINCONI), is [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]], successor and protegé to [[Margaret Parangosky]].{{Ref/Reuse|Expendable}} | The Office of Naval Intelligence is responsible for UNSC [[Wikipedia:signals intelligence|signals intelligence]] (SIGINT), [[Wikipedia:Human intelligence (intelligence gathering)|human intelligence]] (HUMINT), [[Wikipedia:Counterintelligence|counter-espionage]], [[propaganda]], and top-secret research and development programs.

As it is responsible for intelligence matters across the UNSC, ONI employs members of other military branches, and even [[civilian]]s, to complete the division's shadowy work. Many of its functions and subdivisions, like the [[Beta-5 Division]] and the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] programs, are enigmatic, and its personnel are regarded as mysteries by mainstream naval officers.<ref name="tfor18">''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', p. 18 (2001)</ref> | As it is responsible for intelligence matters across the UNSC, ONI employs members of other military branches, and even [[civilian]]s, to complete the division's shadowy work.
