Other than they are both EMC test requirements, the difference is night and day. The MIL-STD-461 tests are:
Much more severe/sensitive Cover much wider frequency bands Are typically done with different equipment. The MIL Radiated Immunity tests use 8 different antennas, EN61326-1 uses 1. The best thing to do is look at the applicable test requirements table in the MIL-STD and compare to EN61326-1. Products designed to the MIL-STD with look very much different than one that just meets the EN.
