A good carving axe will make short work of the majority of the bark. A draw knife will finish the rest.
Or, if you don't have a carving axe handy, a draw knife will work fine -- just a little slower.

I just can't resist being a smart-alek: The easiest way to debark branches is to just throw 'em off the ship!"
(Technically, the proper term for exiting a ship is disembarking, but most dictionaries site 'debark' for the same usage).
To be serious, a good sharp hatchet is my go to tool for this operation.

Drawknife as well for small stuff like this, but just to add to the alternatives since no one mentioned it.. For somewhat larger pieces I'd prefer to have a bark spud.
