Abstract
From the earliest civilizations to the Middle Ages, in addition to the participation of mercenaries in hostilities, the presence of well-organized private structures that acted for material benefits, regardless of the nature and purpose of the armed conflict, can be highlighted. The Middle Ages are considered to be the period in which private structures made up of well-trained people reached their peak. Some states have built their own private military and security companies to meet their colonial claims. This article reflects on the historical evolution of the place and role of private structures in armed conflict, aiming at the complex analysis of this phenomenon.
