"Irregular" has two distinct connotations. One is that the combatants are fundamentally asymmetric--a state versus a non-state entity. The other is that it is "abnormal." Those who use it that way mean to suggest that eventually "normal" war (state on state) will again become the most common or strategically significant type.
Within the U.S. military, I suspect both meanings are used (depending on the speaker).
