As a green card holder traveling abroad to return to US you would require a reentry permit if the stay outside US was for more than a year. The permit should have been approved before leaving US, typically.After 5 years if you intend to return and do not have a reentry permit you should contact the nearest US embassy or consulate and get a return visa (SB-1) in order to enter US again.
