Thank you for your service.

No, Active-duty Military personnel are not required to claim foreign income from military sources.

"Not foreign earned income: Foreign earned income does not include the following amounts:

Pay received as a military or civilian employee of the U.S. government or any of its agencies
Pay for services conducted in international waters or airspace (not a foreign country)"

Foreign Earned Income Exclusion
