In my day the Army used its organic (meaning they were located with the troops, were immediately available and quick to respond to tasking) light utility helicopters for a number of important tasks on the battlefield. These included:
Observation and reconnaissance
Fire and offensive air control (FOO and FAC)
Command and control
Movement of small combat groups and important equipment around the battlefield.
I would imagine that most still apply today.
