Multiple people familiar with the matter confirm that President Joe Biden will sign an executive order that will lift the Pentagon’s ban on transgender people serving in the military on Monday. 

The controversial ban was put in place by former President Donald Trump in 2017 that reversed the Obama administration’s policy to allow open service by transgender people.

New Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will be on hand at the White House ceremony Monday, where the executive order will be signed. 

“The ban will be officially lifted tomorrow,” said one of the individuals familiar with the matter.

The 7,000 National Guard troops requested for post-inauguration assistance in Washington will draw down to 5,000 through mid-March, a National Guard bureau official told ABC News in a statement Sunday.

And while the current plan is to assist through mid-March, "the National Guard will stay as long as needed at the request of supporting agencies," the statement continued.

The troops will be offering security, communications, medevac and logistical support, according to the statement.

Biden continued his weekly routine of attending mass and chose Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown as his place of worship for his first Sunday in office.

A pool report indicated that Biden's son Hunter, and two granddaughters, Maisey and Finnegan Biden attended mass with him. The presidential motorcade also stopped at a bagel shop. The president was not seen getting out, but a reporter was told Hunter Biden went inside to pick up food. The president and his family returned to the White House a few minutes later.

In his appearance on ABC's "This Week" Sunday, Biden’s nominee for Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said that when it comes to meeting the goal for 100 million vaccines in the first 100 days of the president's administration, there are things that could go right or wrong.

"I think President Biden fully understands there's a larger goal here, as we all do, which is that we've got to vaccinate as many Americans as possible. And that's going to take a lot of work, work dispelling this disinformation, working on the supply, increasing distribution channels," he told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos. "And that's some of what the vaccine plan that he announced over the last week is intended to -- to achieve."

Stephanopoulos pressed Murthy on whether there are ways to increase the supply and equitably distribute the vaccines.

"It appears, at least in these first vaccines that have gone out, they've been going largely to wealthier areas of the country, largely to whiter areas of the country," Stephanopoulos said.

"Well, it's the right question, George, because success has to be gauged not just by the number of vaccines we deliver but also by how fairly we deliver those vaccines -- how equitably we deliver them," he said in response. "What we've got to do here is not just, again, increase supply, which we can do using the Defense Production Act ... but we've also got to set up the kind of distribution channels, like mobile units, like strategically placed community vaccination centers, that can reach people who traditionally are hard to reach and don't have access to health care."

He added, "We have got to track our progress. We have got to make sure that we have data on where the vaccine is being administered, so that we can ensure that it, in fact, is being distributed equitably."

Biden delivered short but emotional farewell remarks in a send-off event in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday afternoon, and wiped away tears as he wished his adopted state -- which first elected him to U.S. Senate at the age of 29 -- goodbye.

Apologizing for his emotions, Biden said he'll always be "a proud son of the state of Delaware."

"Excuse the emotion, but when I die, Delaware will be written on my heart," Biden said, choking up.

Biden also recalled a story he often shared on the trail, noting the historic nature of his time as vice president, serving alongside the nation's first Black president and now being a part of another historic feat, being inaugurated with the country's first Black female vice president, saying, "That's America," to applause.

In another emotional moment, Biden said his only regret was that his late son, Beau Biden, wasn't there with them. The location Biden spoke at, the Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III National Guard/Reserve Center, was named for his son, who died of brain cancer in 2015.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I only have one regret, that he's not here, because we should be introducing him as president," Biden said.

Beau was 46 when he died, and Biden is hours away from being sworn in as the 46th president of the United States.

"I know these are dark times, but there's always light. That's what makes this state so special. That's what it taught me, it taught me the most -- there's always light," Biden told the small crowd of supporters.

Before he spoke, he gave a masked kiss on the cheek to his sister, Valerie Biden-Owens, who he has often described as his best friend, and during his remarks referenced all of the Biden family members who were in the crowd, including his son Hunter Biden, his wife Melissa, their young child, and Biden's grandchildren: Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy, Natalie and Hunter.
