Your cited year 2012 DOT&E report refers to Block 2A.

The so-call reduction performance in 2012 is line with the above "Block Plan: Capabilities / Transition Plan" table

At Block 2A, the G numbers are 5.5 / 4.5 /4.5. <------ Year 2012

At Block 2B / 3I, G numbers are 7 / 5.5 / 7.5. <------ Year 2015

At Block 3C(3F) stage, G numbers are 9 / 7 /7.5.

Like the F-16, F-35A obtains it's 9G.
