A Delta outbreak which began in June has produced nearly 3,000 infections and led to nine deaths.
Australian Defence Force soldiers will undergo training on the weekend before beginning unarmed patrols on Monday.
But many have questioned whether the military intervention is necessary, calling it heavy-handed.
The lockdown - in place until at least 28 August - bars people from leaving their home except for essential exercise, shopping, caregiving and other reasons.
Despite five weeks of lockdown, infections in the nation's largest city continue to spread. Officials recorded 170 new cases on Friday.
Soldiers will join police in virus hotspots to ensure people are following the rules, which include a 10km (6.2 miles) travel limit.
State Police Minister David Elliott said it would help because a small minority of Sydneysiders thought "the rules didn't apply to them".
Information provided by health officials indicates the virus is mainly spreading through permitted movement.
The Australian Lawyers Alliance, a civil rights group, called the deployment a "concerning use" of the army in a liberal democracy.

The outbreak has largely affected critical workers and large family groups in the city's poorer and ethnically diverse west and south-west suburbs. About two million people live there.
Critics say those areas have already faced "targeted" policing measures. They point out restrictions there are harsher than for the rest of Sydney.
"Our people are one of the poorest demographics, and as it is, they already feel picked on and marginalised," said Steve Christou, one local mayor.
"They can't afford to pay the mortgage, the rent, the food or work. Now to throw out the army to enforce lockdown on the streets is going to be a huge issue to these people," he told SBS.
Others have called for the government to increase its vaccine drive and support services for the affected communities.
Australia's rate of vaccination - 17% of the adult population - remains one of the lowest among OECD nations.
Fauci and Bill Gates continue to claim that Australia and its internment camps are “doing it right” re COVID. If they had their way, they’d have non compliant Americans taken against their will and locked up in camps. Remember that.

Of course the shoe-shine lapdogs of the KM Black Occult want innocent people traumatized/killed...it's one their core elements.
Gates has never been who people think he is....he was given Microsoft much like JP Morgan was given endless cash. They are agents. They needed a "Ronald McDonald" to push their agenda. Just document him in a basement with crappy computers...the sheeple will buy it...then tell them how authentic the B/W photos are. He, along with Merkell, were WEF "young stars" decades ago....funny how that played out. One is locking down Germany...and the other is pimping sterilizing vaccines by force. Glamorous bunch they cultivated. He simply segued into genetic purification once his allotted theater role as software mogul expired...
What Gates has become...he was groomed for. This inst an organic transformation...he is exactly what they set him up to be.
Do people really believe he cares this ****ing much about medicine...out of nowhere, he reinvents himself? Nope.
He's an eugenicist...who was smart enough to play computer nerd in the magazines. He is, to most, exactly what they've always been told he is...embedded propaganda is sticky like that. [Reply]
He says North America, but goes to Mexico who is now starting to roll out a form of vaccine passports. He still has a good point, though, drug cartels don't force you to take their drugs. [Reply]

The Western Australia premier, who has proudly touted his state will have the 'broadest' vaccine passport rules in the country, is bringing in tough new rules on January 31.
The hospital visitation plan would see only those with exemptions from the vaccine to be allowed to visit hospitals - including to see their own kids.
Mr McGowan has promised to make life 'very hard' for those who refuse the jab, and has further ostracised himself from the rest of the country by extending the state's closed borders beyond the February 5 re-opening date he had promised...
I'm vaccinated yet I still got covid and spread it to my family. Does this Australian politician still think that if you're vaccinated you can't spread covid? [Reply]
