There is a huntsman academy in Atlas. There is also a military in Atlas. World of Remnant: Kingdoms stated that hunters and the military are two different things. The narrator said that, usually, when a kingdom needs a military, the governing counsil calls upon civilians, but some kingdoms (coughAtlascough) always have a military ready just in case.

Since Atlas always has their military ready, unlike the other kingdoms, they need someone to lead the military fulltime. Why not have the headmaster of the second level hunter academy be the general?

I say "second level" because Beacon, Haven, and the like are the second level of hunter training. Before that, students attend academies like Signal and Sanctum, which prepare them for the second level training academy.
