The orange shield denotes the Battalion headquarters, alluding to the 779th Engineer Battalion's lineage as a Signal unit. The barrulet suggests the horizontal construction company; the pallet refers to the vertical construction company. The white seven-pointed star, as displayed on the flag of Australia, alludes to the unit's activation during World War II in that country. The flames represent the sapper company within the Battalion. The wavy base suggests the location of Florida's Joint Force Headquarters in Saint Augustine, Florida.
