| abstract
| - The Office of Defence Intelligence was an intelligence organisation providing military intelligence services within the United Nations Space Command, military branch of the Unified Earth Government. Unlike other intelligence organisations within the UEG's structure, such as the Office of Communications, Office of Security or Office of Intelligence, the Office of Defence Intelligence, frequently referred to as Defence Intelligence, DI or simply the Office, was operated predominantly by serving military personnel, and recieved its funding under the Defence budget. Defence Intelligence was formed in 2554 as part of a larger reorganisation effort within the UNSC, and combined the Office of Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence and UNSC Joint Intelligence Bureau into a single military intelligence organisation. Despite this, Defence Intelligence maintained an extremely close working relationship with both non-military intelligence organisations and the military, cooperating closely with both on matters of military and defence intelligence. Defence Intelligence had a dual remit for intelligence, filling both governmental and military requests for analysis and collection of intelligence. While technically under the authority of the civilian government under the Defence Secretary, more than two thirds of its personnel were serving military, leading to it being tasked with objectives more or less equally between the two. The ODI comprised of about 110,000 civilian and military personnel after its formation in 2554; by 2623 this figure had risen to 143,000. As a result, Defence Intelligence was by far the smallest branch of the UNSC. Defence Intelligence was headed by the Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI) who was a serving three-star military officer and who, as the UNSC's 'intelligence process owner', was also responsible for the overall coordination of intelligence activities throughout the Armed Forces. He was supported by two deputies; a civilian Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence (DCDI), responsible for Defence Intelligence analysis and production; and the military Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff responsible for intelligence collection, mapping and training. The Chief of Defence Intelligence was answerable to the UEG Secretary of State for Defence, or Defence Secretary, via the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Despite the fact that the ODI was subordinate to the Ministry of Defence, it did not fall directly under its command structure and was instead subordinate directly to the Defence Secretary. Military command and directive came directly from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with Defence Intelligence being directly subordinate to HIGHCOM alongside the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Intelligence reports produced by Defence Intelligence were passed to the UEG Joint Intelligence Committee, which reviewed, challenged and approved the assessments made before passing the reports to the UEG National Security Council. The Office of Defence Intelligence, seen widely as the successor to the infamous ONI, was markedly different in role and organisation. The most significant difference was the relocation of military technology research and development to the UNSC Department of Research and Development, which removed the disastrous combination of technology and intelligence in ONI that had led to severe corruption and abuse of power issues, as well as key individuals able to utilise military technology to further their own intelligence needs.
