Difference Between Ground Combat and Ground Defense

We know ground combat plays a role in the defense of a system from troop transports, but what is the difference between ground combat and ground defense?

ground combat ->Empire wide

ground defense ->only local system

oooh, me likes ground combat

Yeppers, those big dumb Naussicans just send swarms of bodies into combat for ground defense.
