Does anyone know what specification the Navy uses to define proper
crash loading of structures in the cargo bay of the aircraft? I know
the numbers 16G's forward, 20G's down, etc., but I'm assuming this is
formally documented in a military or civilian standard. I'm not
having much luck finding it.

Miscellaneous Loads"

You do realize that the average human can take 50+ gs, correct?
