I disagree: the above-mentioned grammatical function belongs to the "on."
"In" in this case probably means the same as "cash in," such as "cash in a check."
When cashing in a check, you get money; when cashing in on the force, you get experience and prestige.

I can't make out how the preposition might be similar to the noun with a preposition. Let's wait for the third opinion.
"In" there is an adverb.
