Using the green card and passport you can travel abroad provided the stay outside US is for a maximum period of 180 days. If you plan to stay for more period of time you should file for reentry permit which is valid for 2 years to reenter US using Immigration form I-131 travel document. After a year as a green card holder if for work or any purpose you need to stay outside US you can preserve your residence in US for naturalization purposes later.
