Answer:

Organizing a gigantic airlift of supplies to Berlin.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1948, Stalin took control of East Germany and cut off access to West Berlin. In response, the United States and Britain organized an airlift of supplies to the city, preserving the western outpost in East Germany. The United States begins to supply medicine, food, and water to the citizens of the blockaded city. It was a massive support mission to supply West Berlin.
