Unless you plan to never return to the US, this move will not cause a problem for your LPR status. There are specific guidelines for the USCIS  in dealing with this type of situation. 
Is your husband in the military or a civilian contractor ?

There are provisions for your situation which mean you won’t lose your status while you are out of the country with his work for the Government

I’m not sure if the process that applied to military also applies to DOD employees. Hopefully someone will know

Can you please tell me what is the process the military follows if you have any information?

Usually DOD employees are treated the same as active military. Please contact your spouse's human resources or personnel office to confirm it will count as you being resident in the US.

I am sure it’s overwhelming at this time and I’m glad you’re reaching out. Much of the information you are seeking and answers to questions you have already asked can be found on the USCIS site 

https://www.uscis.gov/military

This section is written specifically for military

If you are a Green Card holder married to a US Citizen who is REGULARLY Employed abroad ( i think its longer than 1 year or so)

 

- works for AIR (American Institute of Research) As per USCIS  list

https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-naturalization/list-recognized-american-institutions-research-and-other-recognized-organizations

 

- Works for US Military (any branch), US DoD, USG, US DOS

 

You are eligible to apply for Expedited Naturalization  (under Section 319 B of FAM)  family member rule - without residing 3 year.

 

There are certain conditions you must meet please refer to :

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-4

 

Section E specifically EXEMPT you from ALL presence / residence requirements

 

E. Exception to Continuous Residence and Physical Presence Requirements

Spouses of U.S. citizens who are regularly stationed abroad under qualifying employment may be eligible to file for naturalization immediately after obtaining LPR status in the United States. Such spouses are not required to have any prior period of residence or specified period of physical presence within the United States in order to qualify for naturalization. ^[19] 

 

B. Marital Union for Spouses Employed Abroad

The spouse of a U.S. citizen employed abroad is not required to have lived in marital union with his or her citizen spouse. ^[9] The spouse only needs to show that he or she is in a legally valid marriage with a U.S. citizen from the date of filing the application until the time of the Oath of Allegiance. ^[10] Such spouses who are not living in marital union still have to show intent to reside abroad with the U.S. citizen spouse abroad and take up residence in the United States upon termination of the qualifying employment abroad. ^[11]
