For any new-age-Europe of the future, it wouldn't operate in that manner for each and every nation that signs up to the 5 president proposals.
As per earlier posts, a single EU government would logically lead to a single standing Navy, Air Force and Army, perhaps by 2025 as per the "document of 5".
Such forces would recruit from across all of the previous nations but act on behalf of the new government as a single entity.
Hence NATO would have a few concerns, if it were to still exist by then.
Scots and English regiments must have felt something similar when their respective nations combined a few 100 years ago, albeit that was not the same cirmcumstance, exactly, because of the oath of allegiance to the Crown.
