Well, there are plenty of "casual" translations.

In a military setting,

* "Yes, Sir."
* "Roger that."
* "Copy that."
* "Affirmative."

\*Note that the later three have the same implication as that of `遵命` but is more accurately translated to `收到`

In a even less serious setting,

* "Will do."
* "Sure."

I will edit when I have thought of more.

In an everyday context could be something like

>
> "Right away"

Or perhaps in a more authoritative context an example could include

> "At your service"
