My recollection from some 50+ years ago is that "barrier, barrier, barrier" was the correct UK military phraseology back then. After a brief look at the latest online edition of the UK CAA Radiotelephony Manual (CAP 413) Chapter 10 (Military Specific Phraseology), that has not changed. I don't know if this is an international standard, but I suspect it is also used by most, if not all, NATO forces.
