Helicopter Nose wheel steering.

I ask this question here because I can only think this might apply to a large military aircraft I certainly have never come across it.

A statement in a set of training notes talks at length about hydraulically powered nose wheel steering similar to a large fixed wing.
Has anyone come across such a system on a helicopter?

My supplementary question concerns the Chinnook, again the same notes talk about one of the rear wheels castering to allow steering on the ground. I would have thought that both would have to caster to stop scrubbing of the tyre on the locked aft wheel. A brief explanation of how the beast steers on the ground would be much appreciated.

Thanks
