Er... Ren's dad hunted animals, not Grimm. There's a difference between a Huntsman and a hunter in RWBY. This was indicated by Ren's dad literally saying that they needed to find a Huntsman. If he himself was a Huntsman, he would've have phrased it that way. No one in RWBY calls the Grimm-killing warriors "hunters". They always call them Huntsmen and Huntresses, and "Huntsmen" tends to be the gender neutral for when someone doesn't feel like saying "and Huntresses" along with it.

Menagerie has its own guard force. I don't think many White Fang members live in Menagerie, considering there's no Faunus discrimination to fight against there. Their time is better spent on other continents.

I do wonder if Mistral and Vacuo are planning to form armies in fear of Atlas attacking. Though, if they do, they would only be further playing into Salem's hand.

I think Vale's weapon technology is more modern now than it was in Jaune's great-great grandfather's time. After all, the Vale police have guns.

Atlas is certainly still more advanced than the other kingdoms, though, so even if the other kingdoms do form up a militia, they may not handle themselves against Atlas very well. This is especially since the Atlas military has its Specialists - people who trained at and graduated from a Huntsman academy and joined Atlas' military instead of being independent Huntsmen.
