There's no military involvement - although most of the member states are also members of the NATO.
You're forgetting that is changing now. Originally it was just an economic agreement but it is now gradually gaining more powers from the member countries. Also an European Defense/Task force is in the process of being formed using soldiers from the EU countries (mainly from Britain and France I think) and there has been talk of the EU becoming a United States of Europe.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the 21st century it came into being!
