Only a complete dunderhead would confuse anti-insurgency capability with guerrilla war-fighting capability.
To be precise the school of counter insurgency and Jungle warfare teaches both courses.
they teach you
1) How to track your target for days.
2) How to survive in harsh conditions like snow, mountains, jungles with minimum food and water.
and then some advance training like demolition, cutting of supply routes etc.,.etc..
all can be used for counter insurgency as well as Guerrilla warfare.
The mountain divisions which India placed all along the Indo-Tibet border are all well trained in Guerrilla warfare. In 1962 IA found out this deficiency and so they gave emphasis on this training.
