it was simply a by product of a change in doctrine. The previous doctrine, Army 95 and previous, based their national defense policy on the assumption that if WW3 were to start, they would be invaded either by NATO or Warsaw Pact or both. Army XXI simply changed force structure in response to the Berlin Wall falling and the withdrawal of the majority of US and Canadian troops from Europe.
The only affect on gun access was the possible reduction of young Swiss men being forced to have one in the house.
