Chief of Defence Intelligence

The Chief of Defence Intelligence was the senior officer in command of the UNSC Office of Defence Intelligence, the United Nations Space Command's military intelligence organisation and successor to the , Army Intelligence and UNSC Joint Intelligence Bureau. The Chief of Defence Intelligence, or CDI, was a serving three-star military officer who 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.
