How many g's can a typical circuit board withstand?

Hi,Does anyone know how many g's (acceleration) a typical circuit board(surface mount if it matters) can withstand?Recently, a rep from the U.S. Military purchased a few of my MAVRIC boardsand mentioned that they will be used for the IMU (inertial measurementunit) on a CKEM (compact kinetic energy missile). Apparently thesemissiles go from 0 to Mach 6 in just a few thousand meters.I suspect they will be using my boards to prototype their software whilethey are in the process of developing their own custom boards to actuallyreside on the missiles themselves. But they did ask how many g's myboards could withstand. I don't have a clue - any ideas?-Brian
