You get the local z axis, with transform.forward:

 Vector3 v3Force = strength*transform.forward
 rigidbody.AddForce(v3Force);

I'm pretty sure that this is what most (noobs) searching on this subject are looking for.

AddRelativeForce.

Yes...sometimes it is THAT simple. :) Don't worry..it has racked the brains of most of us non "natural" coders.

rigidbody.AddRelativeForce (Vector3.forward * 10);

So I'm so noobish that I'm still confused here, haha. In this case I want to take however much the Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") is, and I want that to be the force being added forwards. In your case, you're adding the force of Vector3.forward, and I don't know what that means. Mind helping?
