I dunno about Soviet.
Despite spending much of the last century aiming a gun at each other's head, we really never did much by way of actual direct fighting.
A small number of American soldiers were sent into Russia during the Russian revolution to safeguard arms that had been shipped in and try to help get the Czechoslovak Legion out, and there was a very limited amount of conflict with Bolshevik forces, but it wasn't the Soviet Union then.

We had fighting with Soviet aircraft in Korea, but then the pilots were at least officially pretending to be Korean or Chinese.
