Best Answer

There's only two dedicated attack helicopters - the AH64 and the AH1, with the AH64 being used by the Army, and the AH1 being used by the Marine Corps and some Army National Guard units. Of the two, the AH64 would be more commonplace, as the Army is a much larger branch, and fields a much larger helicopter force than the Marines do. According to Wikipedia, the US has 741 AH64 helicopters, and 167 AH-1W helicopters (although it doesn't give any mention of how many of the older, single engine models ordered by the Army may still be in service with the Army National Guard).
