The '''Command Network Module''' or '''CNM''', is a communication device utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]], commonly adopted as an external helmet attachment.{{Ref/Game|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory}}

==Usage==

The Command Network Module allows users to communicate and synchronize with the [[UNSC battle network]] in real-time.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|Game=H5G|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Commando Description|Quote=COMMANDO armor features an integrated Command Network Module (CNM) for real-time synchronization with the UNSC battlenet.}} Different CNM variants has been observed across branches and ranks within the UNSC, including [[UNSC Army]] troopers, [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, and [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Campaign|Game=HR|Section=Campaign|SectionLinkText=Campaign models}}

===Compatibility===

The CNM has been observed to be compatible with the following helmets:

*[[COMMANDO-class Mjolnir|Commando]] {{C|Built-in and "tall" variant}}{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Commando|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory|Detail=Commando - UA/FC-I[2] Helmet Description|Quote=Up-armored variant with external command network and hardened 3rd generation uplink modules.}}

*[[SECURITY-class Mjolnir|Security]] {{C|"Tall" variant}}{{Ref/Reuse|cbrncnm}}

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the CNM has three observed variants, each with its own distinct physical appearances. The first variant is the ODST-CNM, which is exclusively employed on ODST armors. The other two variants are standard issue to UNSC Special Forces unit commanders,{{Ref/Reuse|commanders}} and both variants could be upgraded to the '''Command Network Module-Improved''' ('''CNM-I''') variant on the HAZOP and Air Assault variants of MJOLNIR Mark V.{{Ref/Reuse|hazop}}{{Ref/Reuse|AA}} After the Human-Covenant War, built-in CNM suites have been integrated to the helmets of the [GEN2] variants of the Commando-class and the [[MP-class Mjolnir|MP-class]] Mjolnir.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}{{Ref/Game|Id=mp|Game=H5G|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Military Police Helmet Description|Quote=Previously available only to Beta-5 security teams and select Army rapid-reaction forces, Military Police helmets have found a home with Spartan-IV fireteams that require its hardened uplink, command network module, and remote sensor controller.}} However, sometimes the CNM is integrated as an external attachment on armor like the INTRUDER-class Mjolnir,{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|Game=H5G|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Intruder Description|Quote=The INTRUDER helmet features a full-featured Command Network Module and multi-channel drone controller. The drone controller interfaces directly with Unified Ground Command (UNICOM) kill box management and aerospace deconfliction systems.}} while certain CNM variants are still optional attachments, like the CNM[5] on the Mark VII helmet.{{Ref/Generic|Id=INFoverview|[[Halo Infinite Multiplayer Overview]]}}

===CNM[5]===

The CNM[5] could be employed on the Mjolnir Mark VII helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|INFoverview}}

===ODST-CNM===

The ODST-CNM is a specialized variant of the CNM employed by the ODSTs. One was employed by [[Edward Buck]] during the [[Battle of Mombasa]].{{Ref/Game|Game=ODST|Section=Campaign|SectionLinkText=Edward Buck in-game model}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG26|EVG|Page=26}}

===FC configurations===

The modularity of the MJOLNIR armor has made it possible to attach multiple modules on the helmet. In cases where a CNM and a [[Hardened Uplink|Hardened Uplink (HUL)]] are both employed, the configurations are designated "FC", "FC-I", and "FC-I[2]" depending on the variants used. FC refers to the configuration in which the "tall" CNM variant and an external HUL are both attached to the helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|grenadier}} FC-I refers to the configuration in which an external HUL, along with the CNM-I, are integrated on the "camera" CNM variant, though this configuration has only been observed on the [[AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/AA variant]].{{Ref/Reuse|AA}} FC-I[2] refers to the configuration in which both the "tall" CNM and HUL[3] are attached to the helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Commando}}{{Ref/Game|Id=mk6|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory|Detail=Mark VI - FC-I[2] Helmet Description|Quote=External command network and hardened 3rd-generation uplink modules.}}

==Gameplay==

The CNM and its variants serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay.

The "camera" and "tall" variants of the CNM are available as attachments on several helmets in the [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The device is priced at different levels of [[Credit]]s, depending on the base helmets. In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the same CNM-attached helmets are unlockable in [[Season 1: Noble]].

The CNM[5] will be available on the Mark VII helmet in ''Halo Infinite''.{{Ref/Reuse|INFoverview}}

*During the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta]], the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B)|Mark V[B]]] helmet had a "CNM" upgrade available, though the CNM resembled a sun visor which extended above the visor. The device cost 2,000 cR, but was cut from the final game.

*During the ''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta, the "camera" variant of the CNM on the CQC helmet, along with UA attachment on the Mark V[B] helmet, was labelled as HUL. The "tall" variant on the Military Police helmet, however, was correctly labelled "CNM".

**The standard HUL variant mislabeled as the CNM on the EVA[C] helmet.

**The "Camera" CNM variant mislabeled as the UA/HUL-I on the Mark VI helmet.
