A few misunderstandings here. 

AMM is not run by Vladof. It is just funded by them, Vladof gives them guns, that's all. AMM is a group of Actaeon citizens who oppose Dahl's strict military lifestyle. Most of them are normal citizens who merely support the group, but there is a small core of armed and ready fighters who have thus far eluded Dahl capture. 

Something of note, the only civilians on Actaeon are too old or too young for military service, or else disabled in some way. The youth are seen as future soldiers, the old are seen as respected veterans. The disabled are second class citizens.
