If you mean one that is still going I'll guess it's the Swiss Guard at the Vatican.

Yes! The Vatican Guard is the oldest-established military unit in the world. I should've included 'existing' - and I apologize.

Furthermore, who is credited with the concept and design of their uniforms?

I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask my questions before me. Smile Or something to that effect...
