The Office of National Emergency, most commonly referred to as O*N*E, is a fictional government agency in the Marvel Universe. It is best known as the originator of the Sentinel squads that were assigned to protect/observe the X-Men and the remaining mutants after the event known as M-Day, which reduced the number of mutants on Earth to only a few hundred.

The Sentinels employed by O*N*E are Mark VIII models which, unlike most, require pilots. At one point, the X-Men battle and defeat the piloted machines.

The O*N*E group is featured when several members of the New X-Men squad are dragged into the supernatural realm known as Limbo. Operative Alexander Lexington is part of a small rescue squad that assists in retrieving the missing children. He works closely with Amanda Sefton, the former ruler of Limbo. [1]

A limited series by John Layman named Sentinel Squad O*N*E spotlighted the original squad.
