How would you apply force to the center of gravity of the unit in real life? I don't think that is possible...

Your best option may be to add an Acceleration to the unit.

Search the help file for 'point mass'. You can assign a mass to geometry and use accelerations to load the structure. Or you could ensure there is some sort of structure at the location of the CG so a point mass and a force could be assigned.
