2001年4月中旬,瑞士军方终于痛下决心,决定取消其军队中有一百多年历史的“自行车部队”,这是瑞士国防部自1973年取消骑兵部队,1994年取消“信鸽部队”后,做出的又一项改革措施。消息传出后,许多当年在自行车部队服过役的老兵都难以接受。想当年,瑞士的“自行车部队”以其轻便、灵活、精干著称于世,并一举成为瑞士军队的“军中之花”,曾经为瑞士国防做出过巨大贡献。而今要裁掉它,这些出生入死捍卫“自行车部队”荣誉的老兵于情感上是难以接受的。但瑞士国防部还是顶住了来自各方面的巨大压力,毅然做出超越情感的决定。瑞士国防部的做法发人深思,给人启迪。“改革与创新是一个民族的灵魂,是一个国家兴旺发达的不竭动力”。只有不断地推陈出新,才能求得长远发展。而要做到这一点,首先就要解放思想,排除 In mid-April 2001, the Swiss military finally made its determination to cancel its “bicycle force”, which has a history of more than 100 years in its army.
