The Marines, MAYBE, but they’re still optimized for flying fixed-wing assets off a carrier.

The Army. . . no. Only because there’d be the need to stand up entirely new maintenance capabilities for the Army that it hasn’t had since World War II, but the USAF does routinely.

My son was a grunt (medic) for two tours of Iraq. They loved the Wart Hog and Apache. If things got ugly, they could rain down death and destruction on the enemy.
