Will Quince says disruption should be expected during planned walkouts from paramedics on Wednesday.
Mr Quince said the military staff drafted in for Wednesday would provide "support capacity" for individual NHS trusts.
Health chiefs have warned of "extensive disruption," and urged hospitals to free up beds by safely discharging patients ahead of industrial action. "There will be disruption to service. It is important that where people are planning any risky activity, I would strongly encourage them not to do so," he added.
Wednesday's action will involve members of the Unison, GMB and Unite unions. GMB members are also due to on strike again on 28 December.
