NAT and GLOBAL is used for inside to outside communication. STATIC is used for outside to inside communication.
Since the device(s) we're talking about seems to be a server/service of some kind located on your inside network, you use the NAT 0 to let the server communicate outbound with the same (unNATed) IP address, and you use STATIC with the same IP for global and local so outside clients can access the services running on the server.
