Redundancy of 4 (or even 3) is nice, but then why does the DOD let us (Atlas, Omni, North American, Miami Air, etc) fly their troops in everything from 737s to 777s?
I, however, don't see the DOD going for that many 777s for bringing troops, and materiel, back to the States...I do however see other customers eying Atlas operating 777s (most likely DHL, and there are rumors about others as well).
