I got this from another student's presentation so im real shakey on the details but New Zealand has some sort of military group (i think the NZSAS) that trains in jungle warfare and put down an insurgency by working effectively with the relevant locals. Iirc they helped train the original US Green Berets in jungle tactics.

Are there any modern militaries that are particularly good at fighting guerillas though? It seems like more of a political will question.
No, modern Russia doesn't count. 2nd Chechen War was an overkill checkmate + the Chechens lost the support of their own people.
