I work for the DOD as a civilian in Germany at a US military resort, they provide housing but I pay for my food and medical. Do have to file a Form 2555?

You do not have to file a Form 2555.

Form 2555: Foreign Earned Income does not apply to DOD civilians working overseas.

Pay received as a military or civilian employee of the U.S. Government or any of its agencies is not considered foreign earned income.
