I think so. Foreign Internal Defense (FID) used to mean just that, helping a friendly power deal with internal threats AKA an insurgency or rebellion. It was primarily done by with and through by training HN forces, military and economic aid, and intelligence sharing. FID and UW were meant to be two sides of the same coin (no pun intended), employing similar skills and thought processes. Over time the term got bastardized to mean FID was HN Training, no more no less, like JCETS, JCS exercises, what your Bravo does downrange, etc.
