The same as with a regular military: to defeat the enemy. Only the strategy & tactics are different, because a guerrilla force does NOT have an Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, nor a regular Army.
The difference between a soldier and a guerrilla is that a soldier will kill his enemy, a guerrilla will kill anyone who is not himself.
Guerrilla warfare is basically hit and run under cover, so the Vietcong during the Vietnam war used guerrilla warfare to combat American soldiers. During the US Civil War, the Rebels also used guerrilla warfare.

Guerrilla warfare is simply groups of people out of uniform fighting for their country, mostly in surreptitious actions and sabotage. This has happened in every war I can think of .
The Vietcong were a light infantry force, primarily used for guerrilla warfare. They had virtually no heavy equipment and no navy or air force. Like most guerrilla forces, they had virtually no training in infantry tactics, and poor leadership. They were used by the main North Vietnamese Army to harass the ARVN and US forces, and to conduct politically-oriented actions against South Vietnamese citizens. The Vietcong's primary value was to provide the illusion of a threat to the ARVN and US forces, and to be a large political lever to use against the South Vietnamese government.
