I am a DoD Civilian, stationed overseas for the last 6 years. I've owned the house almost 20 years, but decided to buy a new home when we came back. Can I get the 2 years exclusion since I was stationed overseas with the US Army?

As a DOD civilian, you are not eligible for a capital gains exclusion on the sale of your house unless you otherwise qualify. See IRS Publication 523, page 6, for exceptions to the 2 of 5 rule for members of the military, foreign service, and intelligence community.
