That would be moving the goalposts, as the quote in the OP never implied a measure or quotient of years necessary for success, only that it is "the most logistically challenging event the US has ever seen".

Were that measure actually relevant though, bear in mind the the Berlin Airlift began six days after the blockade had begun.
