While we are at it does anyone fly near a US Army helicopter training
operation?
Is the airspace usd for training a Restricted area while active. Or
just an MOA?

I don't know specifically about areas helicopters, but there are both
kinds of airspace, of course. The Restricted areas can be active for
varying times and to various altitudes, and include helicopter use,
depending on the particular area. Our closest one is usually inactive
on weekends, and sometimes is active "surface to 5000" (for example),
so we can fly over it when cloudbase is higher than that. Or much
worse: surface to FL180.

Can you fly through it VFR without a clearance?

MOAs - yes. Some areas, like Nevada, it's a good idea to find out what
exactly is happening, but here in Washington State, the density is
much lower, so I've never seen a military aircraft.
