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|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory}}

==Overview==
===Specifications===
The Command Network Module allows users to communicate and synchronize with the [[UNSC battle network]] in real-time.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Commando Description|Quote=COMMANDO armor features an integrated Command Network Module (CNM) for real-time synchronization with the UNSC battlenet.}} The connection to the battlenet can be further enhanced by integrating a [[Hardened Uplink]] to the CNM.{{Ref/Game|Id=cnm5|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=CNM(5)/BNR/FASCINATOR - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=Known to ONI by the codename "FASCINATOR", the AN/PCK-440 "pick four-forty" is a fifth-generation hardened uplink rarely seen outside of UNSC special forces.}}

===Usage===
Different Command Network Modules have 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|HR|Campaign|Campaign models}}

After the [[Human-Covenant War]], built-in CNM suites have been integrated to the helmets of the [GEN2] variants of the Commando-class,{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} the [[MP-class Mjolnir|MP-class]] Mjolnir,{{Ref/Game|Id=mp|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|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.}} and the INTRUDER-class Mjolnir.{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|H5G|Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|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.}} However, certain Command Network Modules are still external attachments, like the fifth-generation AN/PCK-440 FASCINATOR module on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|JOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN3] armor]].{{Ref/Reuse|cnm5}}

==Modules==
The CNM has multiple observed modules, each with its own distinct physical appearance.

[[File:H3ODST Buck CNM.png|thumb|150px|The ODST-CNM module on Edward Buck's helmet.]]

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

==In-game information==
The CNM serves as a cosmetic option and has no impact on gameplay.
===''Halo: Reach''===
The [[Tactical attachments|TAC/RS/STARLIGHT]] attachment, identified as a CNM in ''Halo: Reach'', and the FARNDALE module 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]].

===''Halo Infinite''===
CNM attachments are available as [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|customization options]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The release of ''Halo Infinite'' was accompanied by a series of retcons, with a CNM being re-designated into the [[Tactical attachments|TAC/RS/STARLIGHT]] attachment, while the standard HUL module being re-designated into the CNM/BNR/FARNDALE.

==Production notes==
*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 CNM on the CQC helmet, along with UA attachment on the Mark V[B] helmet, was mislabeled as a HUL. The FARNDALE variant on the Military Police helmet, however, was correctly labelled "CNM".
*In the final release of ''Halo: Reach'', two mislabeled helmet attachments involved the CNM:
**The FARNDALE CNM variant, originally identified as a HUL in ''Halo: Reach'', mislabeled as a CNM on the EVA[C] helmet.
**The TAC/RS/STARLIGHT attachment, originally identified as CNM variant in ''Halo: Reach'', was mislabeled as the UA/HUL-I on the Mark VI helmet.
*Although the [[ODST armor/HVY]] armor in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' portion of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' was based on the armor worn by [[Victor Ramos]] in ''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]'', Ramos's helmet did not employ the UA and CNM attachments in ''Halo: Fireteam Raven''.
