Best Answer

Similar-Either group could be nationless (no country no flag no government), either group could be without uniforms and without a flag and without equipment (they'd have to use captured/stolen weapons, etc.).

Difference-"Insurgents" are attacking THEIR OWN government. "Guerrillas" could be standard (government) soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, etc. assigned to conduct "guerrilla operations." Translation: Insurgents could be executed as they are often NOT LEGAL combatants (they're revolutionaries, revolters, similar to Rebels/Rebellion, rioters, gangs, etc.). Guerrilla warfare IS A TACTIC! A perfectly legal means of conducting warfare.
