HISTORY OF NATIONAL SECURITY The concept of security of a nation goes back to the dawn of nation-states themselves. Armies for domestic peacekeeping and maintaining National Sovereignty have existed since the dawn of recorded history. Civil and national Police forces have also existed for millennia. Intelligence Agencies and Secret Service s of governments stretch back to antiquity such as the Roman Empire 's '' Frumentarii '' and ''agens in rebus''. While the general concepts of keeping a nation secure are not new, the specific modern English term "national security" itself came into common parlance in the 20th Century.
