Best Answer

The army uses several types of helicopters. When it comes to transporting troops, the army uses the UH-60 Blackhawk, which is a variant of the Jayhawk used by the coast guard. For air-to-ground defense, the army uses attack helicopters such as the AH-1 Cobra, or its replacement, AH-64 Apache.

Several.

  • OH-6 Cayuse, MH-6 "Little Bird", and other variants of the H-6 series
  • OH-58 Kiowa
  • AH-1 Cobra (still in service with some second line units)
  • AH-64 Apache
  • UH-60 Blackhawk, MH-60, and other variants of the H-60 series
  • CH-47 Chinook, MH-47, and other variants of the H-47 series

On a side note, the Army is the only branch which operates the H-47 series (CH-47, MH-47, etc.) and the only branch which does NOT operate the H-53 series (CH-53, MH-53, etc.)
