The 163rd Infantry was a part of the 41st Division, which was originally the National Guard from the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Called up for service, the 41st Division was formed and trained at Camp Greene, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Upon reaching France in February, 1918, the Division received a great disappointment when its members learned that it was to be broken up to provide replacements for other divisions. Much of the infantry strength of the 41st Division went to the 1st, 2nd, 32nd and 42nd Divisions. The 41st Division and its subunits, including the 163rd Infantry, saw no action in WWI as intact units.

For WW2: Armored Infantry Divisions were equiped with half-tracks. Regular Infantry Divisions walked (or trucked). During the Vietnam War those Armored Infantry Divisions gave way to the new MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISIONS, equipped with M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Army Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (and only it's 1st Brigade); the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division (Red Diamond Patch). Regular Infantry Divisions in Vietnam were called "Straight Legs", "Straight" meaning...straight foot soldiering.
