Do airplanes have to dump fuel to land?
Usually, no.
Most of the time, the pilot or crew determine the required amount of fuel for a specific flight plan. They also carry extra fuel in case aircraft has to be diverted, heavy traffic, or changes in route. The idea behind it is that, in order to reduce fuel consumption, the plane has to be as light as possible, so the less fuel the plane is carrying, the better. The extra is there for safety. Rarely is fuel wasted during normal flights, and planes can land with a surplus.
In emergency procedures, it is a different story. If a commercial or military aircraft has an engine failure during takeoff, if the situation is stabilized, the pilot will then circle the airport getting rid of fuel if it is safe to do so. This is done so that in the event of an emergency landing, there is less fuel to ignite or cause an explosion.

What is the most commonly used attack helicopter in the US military?
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).

Adjusted on a helocopter to change from hovering to flying forward?
In a helocopter, to change from hovering to flying forward, you adjust the cyclic. You push it forward, which increases the pitch of the rotor at the rear, decreasing it at the front, which tilts the aircraft forward, causing it to move forward. You also adjust the collective up, to increase the overall pitch, causing the aircraft to go up, because you want to quickly gain altitude in order to have a safe margin to auto-rotate in case the engine fails.
