If the American military is anything like the Canadian military, FMLA does not apply.... Military members here in Canada do not qualify for other government programs. BUT - He SHOULD be paid to stay home to recover regardless... As said, I am unsure about the US, but in Canada, (I am the ex spouse of an senior military officer here) any injuries sustained by a member either while working or while home is treated by military doctors, and they are usually on paid leave during that time. The military medical system (at least here) is pretty decent, and they make referrals to other medical specialists when needed....
I hope you are getting the care needed, and if you have to, speak with a military lawyer so you know what your rights are.

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
