[4] He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and completed his PhD in Political Science and National Security Affairs in 1969. His doctoral thesis, published by the Center for International Studies, is titled “The ABM Debate: Strategic Defense and National Security,” ref>“The ABM debate: strategic defense and national security” DSpace@MIT,1969</ref> after he completed his Ph.D he served a series of operational flying and Washington D.C., special staff tours.
Military Career[edit]
During Jayne’s over ten years as an active Air Officer, he had a number of operational flying assignments, and special staff duty in the White House. After completing Air Force Pilot Training as a Distinguished Graduate (1969- 1970), he served as a special operations pilot flying the A-1E Skyraider in South-East Asia at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (1971- 1972). In 1974, he completed upgrade training in the F-4 Phantom, and returned to Southeast Asia for a second fighter assignment, this time at Korat RTAFB. Jayne’s combat decorations include two Silver Stars, five Distinguished Silver Crosses and eight Air Medals. [5] Other key military assignments during this time included two tours in the Executive Office of the President and service as a USAF Jet Instructor Pilot at Moody Air Force Base. In the White House, Jayne served first as a White House Fellow in 1973-1974 during the Nixon Administration [6], and later, in 1976-1977, as a staff member of the National Security Council during the Ford Administration, working for and as a staff member of the United States National Security Council [7] working for General Brent Scowcroft, and serving alongside other young professional staffers such as Robert Gates, Stephen Hadley and Robert Kimmitt.
In 1977, Jayne was appointed by President Carter as Associate Director in the Office of Management and Budget [8] At the same time, he transferred from the active Air Force to the Air National Guard (ANG), where he would serve for over twenty-three additional years as an officer, pilot, commander, and senior staff officer. Joining the District of Columbia ANG in 1977, he flew the F-105 Thunderchief and served as the 121st Fighter Squadron Operations Officer. Moving to the Missouri ANG in 1980, he again checked out in the F-4 Phantom, the same fighter he had flown in one of the Southeast Asia tours. For fifteen years, nine in the F-4 and six in the plane he had been responsible for at McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC), the F-15 Eagle, Jayne was a combat ready pilot in the 131st Fighter Wing in St Louis.
From 1993-1995, Jayne served as the senior “traditional Guardsman” officer in the 1,200-person fighter unit. As Vice Wing Commander, Colonel Jayne led the inspection preparation prior to the 1995 award of the Air Force’s highest Operational Readiness Inspection rating, that of “Outstanding,” to the 131st Wing. [9] He also played key roles in St Louis and the Pentagon in the National Guard’s massive civil response to the Midwestern Floods of 1993-1994 and the nationwide call-up and deployment of ANG forces to Desert Shield/Desert Storm. In November 1995, Jayne was selected to be the Air National Guard Assistant to the Commander of Air Force Space Command in Colorado Springs [10] . He served this leadership role for five years, serving four AFSC Commanders, before his retirement in 2000 as a Major General [11] with over thirty-four years of total commissioned service.

[13] In this role, he was responsible for the budget for the United States Department of Defence, Department of State, and the Intelligence Community (IC). [14] During this three year assignment, Jayne participated in a number of major national security decisions, including full scale development and initial production for the F-16, F-18, F-117 Stealth Fighter, AWACS, the Tomahawk Cruise Missile, M1A1 Abrams tank, and NASA’s Space Shuttle.

In 1980, Randy Jayne left government service to join the aerospace industry, hired by General Dynamics (GD) as Director of Aerospace Planning, and two years later becoming Vice President of Strategic Planning.

In 1990, Jayne became President of McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company. There, he inherited five major firm fixed price development programs and a near term loss potential of over $200 million. Three years later, these contracts had all been restructured or completed, and Missile Systems was a highly profitable operation.
