Rittenhouse Army Heliport (FAA LID: AZ38) formally Williams Field Auxiliary No. 2 is an Arizona Army National Guard training airstrip 11.5 miles (10.0 nmi; 18.5 km) east of the central business district of Queen Creek, a city in Pinal County, Arizona, United States and 31 miles (27 nmi; 50 km) southeast of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA, IATA, and ICAO, this airport is only assigned AZ38 by the FAA.[2]

Williams Field Auxiliary No. 2 was one of many auxiliary fields that served Williams Field (now Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport) and is one of many Arizona World War II Army Airfields.[3]
