Short answer, no. No UH-1Hs, or any other version Huey, are used by the US Army in combat roles.
There may have been a few Army National Guard ones zipping around in the early stages ('04). There are none left in active service and I believe all the Nat. Guard units have switched to UH-60 Blackhawks by now as well.
The USMC is still using the UH-1N Huey in Iraq and Afghanistan though.
