Help with WW I Category

I don't know much about military service.  Would someone be willing to look at this profile I have been working on of my granduncle and tell me which WW I category I should add.  I think it looks like the paperwork says 163rd infantry, but I looked it up and that was a Montana division.  My granduncle was from Texas.  Any assistance is appreciated.

When someone is in the military they go wherever they are told to. It is possible that he may have been stationed in Montana before going overseas.

Ok, makes sense, but in categories there is a 163rd infantry army regiment and a 163rd infantry army brigade.  Which one do I choose?
I will defer to someone from the military and war crew to help with that.

It's most likely the regiment.
