Usually termed guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare is traditionally used when the "guerrillas" have no standing army to fight their enemy.
Although a "standing army" (a conventional army) can also employ guerrilla tactics, if it desires to do so.
A good analogy would be the German submarines used during both World Wars; Germany had no (significant) surface navy to challenge the allies in both wars (excepting the lone temporary engagement of Britain's "Grand Fleet" in 1916, which ended inconclusively). Therefore, Germany embarked on a naval form of guerrilla warfare: Hit and run techniques, and ambushing vessels along specific sea routes...or hitting them when opportunity arose...then quickly fleeing.
Had Germany a strong surface fleet (battleships in WWI, and carriers in WWII) Germany would have been able to contest the seas against the allies in conventional sea battles; as had taken place against the Japanese in the Pacific during WWII.
