Surprisingly you're finding out a historical reality as well. The USMC never used the H-19 and UH-1 for major troop transport. The UH-34 and CH-46 were used in these roles primarily, with the H-53 series eventually taking over.
The H-19 and UH-1 were used for light transport, small troop movements, insertions and extractions of small teams, MEDEVAC, and forward observation. You really shouldn't be trying to mount aerial assaults with them. It was never their intended role.

Being a former Jarhead myself I'm aware of this.
BUT -
I'm trying to "correct" OOB 13 (USMC) while maintaining the current unit/formations (probably an impossible task). Unfortunately I ran face first into Formation #125 Rifle Pl (Huey) 1/60 thru 12/69. And while a player will be smart enough not to try to put full size (14 men at the time due to the M-79 Grenadier) on a UH-1E (capacity 8 men) the AI of course can't quite manage.
Guess I'll just have to use the X3 Radio Code so the AI ignores Hueys but a player can still buy them should they desire.
