If there is no account balance (on a military retirement account) how is the RMD calculated?

This tax program asks for RMD on military retirement , no such animal.

It's whatever they send  you.  Say all of it is the RMD. If you are 73 it will ask you if it is the RMD. Say yes and enter the amount as the RMD amount. The pension doesn't need to calculate any RMD. Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the RMD. Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD.
