Washington Examiner had more details:

Guard members will not carry firearms or take part in any law enforcement or domestic surveillance, the Pentagon said in a statement sent to the Washington Examiner. They will be able to report any observed criminal activity, which will then be handled by Metro police and Capitol police.

Four hundred of the Guard members will come from D.C. while 300 will come from other states, the Pentagon said.
