The Berlin Airlift occurred after World War 2. When Germany surrendered, the four major countries of the Allies were placed in charge as occupation forces. The four countries were USA, Britain, France and Russia. The country was divided up into sectors and placed under the control of each country and the capitol city of Berlin was also divided. Later, Russia began to isolate the territories under their rule, including other border countries. This divided Germany and eventually Russia erected a wall that was known as the "Iron Curtain" along the border.
Since the city of Berlin was within the region occupied by Russia, the sectors of the city that was under the rule of US, Britain and France were cut off from the other regions of Germany to the west, which still had some freedom. The Soviet Prime Minister wanted to exert complete control, so he closed the only road that connected the part of Berlin that was free from the remaining West Germany. The US and the other allies didn't want Russia to take complete control over Berlin, so they sent food and supplies into Berlin by air---thus the Berlin Airlift.
The Berlin Blockade, lasting from 1948 to 1949, resulted in the Berlin Airlift and strengthened the relationship between Western powers in the face of Soviet aggression. It also contributed to the division of Germany and solidified the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Overall, the blockade had a lasting impact on the political landscape of post-World War II Europe.

The four aeromedical evacuation (AE) phases that provide airlift for patients from overseas areas or active operational theaters to the Continental United States (CONUS) are: Initial Evacuation, where patients are moved from the point of injury or illness to a theater hospital; Theater Evacuation, which involves transport from the theater hospital to a higher-level medical facility; Strategic Airlift, where patients are moved to CONUS via military or commercial air transport; and Patient Transfer, which involves the final movement to a stateside medical facility for ongoing care and rehabilitation.
