Don't the underlying countries making up the EU have to have an army first in order to build and EU army?

An EU Army. Do do what, exactly? Protect their borders? Battle Russia?
Been done before. There was an EU army in the 1940s. It was called the Waffen SS. They even had a Muslim division. Keep ducking 🙈
Too little, too late and even not happening.
