You are looking at the wrong set of rules. If you lived in the house and owned it for more than 2 years, and then you delayed your sale while you were on active duty, you could suspend the 5-year rule. You can’t suspend the 2-year part of the rule.
Since you did not own the home more than 2 years, you have to look at the section of publication 523 labeled “do I qualify for a partial exclusion“. There is no military exemption to the 2-year rule, but there are several other reasons that might qualify you for a partial exclusion.
