I'd argue that all Hunters are under some sort of military (Kingdoms, independent etc) and it is the degree that differs here. As you've mentioned previously, Beacon Academy is more civilian-based. In times of crisis it is entirely possible that Beacon students may be drafted forcibly to defend the Vytal Kingdom, but its main priority will always be the education and guidance of the new generation of Hunters.
