List of oldest military units and formations in continuous operation
text:
While modern standing armies were first developed in the 15th century, the defining terminology for contemporary military units and formations, such as company, battalion, regiment etc. mostly arose in the early modern period, during the 16th and 17th centuries. Only units that are still extant are included, while contemporary refoundings of older units are excluded.
