The Pentagon approved the use of 400 D.C. guard troops and 300 members from other states along with 50 "large tactical vehicles" to help keep traffic flowing, the D.C. National Guard said in a statement.

The Guard vehicles will take up positions at strategic intersections starting no later than 1 p.m. on Saturday or as soon as possible, the statement said. The troops will not be armed and they will not be authorized to conduct "domestic surveillance activities," the statement said.
