Wolle is right, there is a special forum section here that is called Arma editing. Next time ask questions like that there.

The easiest way is to use waypoints. You need to use Load and Get In waypoints. Your chopper needs to use Load and your squad needs to Get In. Just put those waypoints close to the area where you need to be picked up and Syncronize them (press Syncronize button and drag a blue line between your waypoints circles). This way the chopper is gonna wait for everyone in the squad to get in. This is the most basic, effective and simple way to do it, no scripting required.

And just to be sure that the chopper lands near to the forces add an invisible H (Add Unit, Empty, Objects, H (Invisible) I think it was) near the waypoints.

If you don't, that chopper might go away +500m just to find a spot flat enough for him to land. Be aware that the hill (if any) you're placing the H on, shouldn't be too steep either or he might want to land there, but won't be able to due to the angle, resulting in a loop of trial-and-error-landings.
