Vietnam War
Other than the "hot battles" of the cold war; Korea & Vietnam, no armies were used during the cold war. If any armies had been used...there would not have been a cold war! It would have been World War III. The standard "standing armies" (armies that existed but were never used) were the NATO (and the short lived SEATO) and Warsaw Pact armies. The Warsaw Pact armies were the USSR's version of the free world's NATO armies. Another words, had there been a war (instead of a cold war); NATO would have fought the Warsaw Pact armies.
To quote some officers in Vietnam, "...the only war we had."
Most Historians like to use 1961 as the starting point for the war. The Vietnam War was NOT a civil war. A civil war is two armies from the same nation fighting itself. North Vietnam & South Vietnam were separate countries. They were never one country called Vietnam until 1975.
The Cold War; Vietnam was a "hot" battle of the cold war.
