Military Spouse and State Taxes

I'm active duty military, and a legal resident of NC. At the beginning of 2020 we were stationed in WY and my husband had a job there. We are currently stationed in Japan and my husband has a government job here. For state taxes  for him, he can claim NC as his resident under the MSRRA since that's where I'm a legal resident? I'm assuming he'd be considered a full time resident. The money he earned in WY wouldn't be considered NC income? WY doesn't have any state income taxes. What about the money he is earning here in Japan? Is that subject to NC tax? He's currently not paying any state taxes.
