HOW IS FINANCING MILITARY OPS OF SECURITY AND DEFENSE?
ATHENA
Athena is the form of financing of the EU safety approved on 1 March 2004 by 27 States parties of the EU. All these countries contribute to Athena's ability to finance:
• Administration, public information, hired personnel, deployment, etc.
• Infrastructure, medical services.
• Reimbursements from NATO or other organizations
Athena is directed by an administrator and is supervised by a special committee that is made up of representatives of the states parties.
Athena acts as an organization that can maintain accounts, acquire assets or make agreements, among other competencies.
The EU states parties can finance the common costs of military operations, as well as the national costs assumed by the states parties through Athena.

Examples of these missions funded by Athena are the missions called EUFOR:

The European Union has carried out 30 operations as part of the CSDP (15 have been completed). 

EUFOR has been used four times so far: in the Republic of Macedonia from March 2003 to December 2003 as EUFOR Concordia, in Bosnia from 2004 as EUFOR Althea, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2006, and in Chad and the Central African Republic since 2007. These rapid reaction forces are subordinate to the European Union Military Staff, and complements other EU military forces such as Eurocorps, the European Gendarmerie Force, European Maritime Force and EU Battlegroups.

EU SECURITY TIMELINE  EU foreign and security policy, which has developed gradually over many years, enables the EU to speak and act as one in world affairs. Acting together gives the EU's 28 members far greater clout than they would have if each pursued its own policies. HOW ? Trough The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), formerly known as the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), is a major element of the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union (EU) and is the domain of EU policy covering defence and military aspects, as well as civilian crisis management.
