The main ones for the US Army are the M4 carbine and M16A4. Some units still field the M16A2, and even the M16A1 can be found in some Army Reserve units. Some select units get to field rifles such as the HK416 and FN SCAR.

The standard issue assault rifle used by all US troops is one of five incarnations of the M16. Some troops use the M4 carbine, a similar weapon to the M16.

Depending on the unit type, it will either be the M4 carbine or M16 rifle (A4 for line units, with the A2 still in use by second line units).
