If you mean in regard to the UK armed forces, then the UK will be required to assist in any military movement commissioned by NATO.

NATO can only control the British armed forces but even then it is to a point.

Does every country that uses the euro have a different design?
The notes are the same in all countries that use the euro. One side of the coins is the same in all countries and the other side identifies the particular country it is from. Any of the coins can be used in any of the countries, so wherever you are you can spend euros. This is one of the advantages when travelling to different countries that use the euro, in that you do not have to change your currency.

Some of the reasons for the establishment of the European Union (EU)
Already in the 1920s some politicians (such as Briand and Stresemann) tried to achieve reconciliation between France and Germany as the basis for establishing a durable peace in Europe. A few intellectuals, such as Fritz von Unruh in Germany, even talked and wrote about a union of sorts between France and Germany. However, the Great Depression and the rise of the Nazis wrecked their efforts.
After WW2 there were fresh efforts, however. Initially, the countries actively involved were France, West Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries. The move also had the support of Churchill. It began in 1951 with European Coal and Steel Community which created a common market for coal and steel amongst 6 member-states (West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg).
The next step was a customs union - the European Economic Union (1957) - with tax harmonization in some areas. It was also felt that economic interdependence would strengthen peace. The first expansion occurred in 1973 when Britain, the Irish Republic and Denmark joined. The EU has continued to expand and now consists of 27 countries with an overall population of about 492 million people (2007). Additional countries are clamoring for admission. After all, nothing succeeds more than success.
Britain appears to be a reluctant member. It has still not succeeded in finding a post-imperial role for itself. Moreover, at key junctures many British politicians have badly underestimated the potential of the EU - and still do so.
So trade is easier in between the countries, and if they are in the EU, they can just have a common currency.
Are the Canary Islands in the EU?
