If I understood your question correctly, you are asking how one can be sure that anarchist militias would be well equipped and trained against a professional army.
There’s somehow an underlying assumption that anarchist militias themselves wouldn’t be professional armies.
Let’s say 3000 anarchist communes exist in a given piece of land. There’s a dictatorship nearby which could invade. 2800 of these communes recognise the threat and a need for their own defense force. They come together and form a defense pact. Requirements of the pact are that every commune supplies x individuals for the militia and x resources. Training is done at xyz training camps, yadayadayada.
Communes are free to leave this pact, but doing so makes them lose protection.
Effectively what you get out of this is a professional army just like any other. WITHOUT the existence of a state.
Organisation can be done by these communes without giving the high command of this defence pact monopoly over violence.
